Very sorry to hear of his passing. His site was always informative and helpful. I'll always be thankful for all the cycyling knowledge he spread.

Only ever exchanged one email with him, but he knew the answer immediately. I, too, am glad his legacy will live on through the website. I like to think that Sheldon, no longer constrained by the bounds of his illness, is riding unfettered along the great veloway in the sky. RIP, Sheldon Brown.

He had good ideas, sensible ideas, and will definitely be missed. He was a unique and generous individual. He had good ideas, sensible ideas, and will definitely be missed.

I had a problem with something, and I said, "I did not buy this at your shop but..." He replied quickly with, "That was your first mistake." Then, he helped me fix my bike. He really was a good guy.

He has helped me through so much from changing my first flat on my own to overhauling my bottom bracket. I send my sincere condolences to his family and friends. Man that bites. :(

He's probably advised 99% of modern bike nerds directly or indirectly. How sad. I’d say that as far as bike information in the Internet age goes, Mr Brown was the most important figure around.
