RIP Sheldon Brown

Apparently Sheldon Brown has had a heart attack and passed away (confirmed at Harris Cyclery). Very sad, especially considering he has recently been having health issues that have prevented him from enjoying his passion of bicycling. He's contributed huge amounts of knowledge to not only fixed gear and single speed riders, but cyclists in general. No doubt he will be missed by those close to him as well as the countless cyclists he helped in all of his years.
