Sheldon Brown

Sheldon Brown has died of a heart attack. Anyone who has spent any time looking for cycling related information on the internet will be familiar with his knowledge, generosity, and humour.

He hadn't been able to ride a bike recently, because he had Multiple Sclerosis - which he managed to be incredibly positive about.

Interesting longbike

From http://www.velovision.co.uk/forum-new/read.php?3,2212

I'd been sort of considering something like this as a possible use for a hypothetical childback tandem frame once it was no longer needed as a tandem.
