Farewell Sheldon Brown

Sheldon Brown was an American cyclist who ran what I regard as the best technical website for cyclists. Whatever the topic, his site would have excellent advice and how-to guides. He did a nice line in April Fool jokes, and introduced me to the Sheldon Shake, an effective way of cleaning a cycle chain by putting it into a bottle half-full of solvent, closing the cap and shaking vigorously.

Sadly I read that Sheldon died of a heart attact a few days ago. He will be sadly missed.
