As you say, "bugger" Regards Harold Tantum religio potuit suadere malorum - Lucretius I seem to remember that he had developed MS. Not sure of the connection to a heart attack. But certainly concur with "bugger", his web pages were amongst the most useful that I have come across, not to mention his April 1 spoofs. -- Remove norubbish to reply |

A inspirational bloke, always had the time and patience to share his vast knowledge and expertise. The cycling community has lost a great personality. We'll charge a glass or two tonight in his honour. -- cfsmtb |

Indeed. What'dhe drink? I hope he liked Ardbeg 10yo. This is terrible news. Sheldon was one of the most amazing people in the world of cycling. He's answered our stupid questions with wonderful advice, and been an inspiration to many of us. I for one will miss him greatly. Though I'm sure he'd never drink that horrid Islay rubbish. I mean, ya might as well soak some seaweed in disinfectant and drink that. I think it's time to hit the Glengoyne. -- suzyj |

He had been unable to move around easily for some time I believe. |
