Feb 3rd.
Why did everyone miss it? I feel bad that I missed it.
I was reminded by Urban Velo's blog entry this morning. I went back and checked my archives. I found a link to The Church of the Big Ring's entry.
The Wiki page is a good reflective starting point. Sheldon Brown.com sort of lives on with his spirit but doesn't tell the story past Feb 2008. And that's okay.
Saint Sheldon is still a giant, an icon, a true roll model for everyone. He did his work for free. No google adds, no flashy java links to stuff for sale, there wasn't a bicycle he didn't like, pretty much that he didn't own it seemed.
Saint Sheldon is still missed greatly by me, and I hope at least by others as well. It is comforting to know that when I have a question about something bike mechanic related that I can't answer, sheldon usually has already answered it and put it on his web page.
