I'm shocked and saddened to hear this news. I knew Sheldon had MS but not
any heart problems.

He was a legend - with easily the best cycling website ever, and one of the
best websites ever, full stop! He will never be forgotten for as long as
the internet remains - which is bound to be forever!

Best wishes to his family at this most difficult time.

'Bugger' is the first thing that came to mind. I can't think of anything
more useful than that, unless that summoning trick would work one last
time.

Sheldon - Sheldon - Sheldon ...

No...?

Bugger. He'll be missed.

Regards to Sheldon's family.

His website was a huge help to me on many occasions.

Damn. The world is a smaller place for his passing.

The man and his web site was a legend, a fount of knowledge and filled with
love of bikes, life & good humour. He will not be forgotten. Sincere
condolences to his family & friends.

Requiescat in pace.

OK, a fitting memorial would be to ensure his website is preserved.
Do we know whose hands it's now in? If not, it might be a Good Idea
for someone to make a copy (privately - without violating copyright)
just in case a provider notes it's no longer paid-for and turns it off.
Of course its eventual fate will be up to his estate. Copying it is
just a measure of insurance, in case it escapes their attention until
it's too late.
