Sheldon Brown
1944-2008
I didn't know The Bike G-d personally but we exchanged emails on various technological issues of 3speed Steeds. There's going to be a lot of web commentary on his contributions throughout the BikeKult, so I'll simply add this from his website:

Very sad news. Since I discovered Sheldon's pages (less than a year ago), they were my constant refuge of last resort - whenever there was something I just couldn't figure out, Sheldon had the answer . . . like only this SATURDAY when I needed some info on the difference between 1/8" & 3/32" chains.
He'll be much missed.
Karl.
He believes in exogamy.
Slightly shocking.
