Was a sad day when he passed.
1) He's practical to a fault -- he doesn't delude himself or others
2) He's extremely generous with his knowledge.
Anybody from any profession can take a lesson from his life.
RIP Sheldon Brown.
In addition to the incredible depth of very practical info, the fact that his site exists is a demonstration of what the pre-commercial web was all about: 1 guy contributing knowledge for the benefit of many others, giving time/effort for the greater good.
Never met him, but i miss him.
The author is sadly deceased and while this is a great resource it's worth noting that a lot of the technical stuff on here is not very applicable to newer bicycles which use threadless headsets etc.
Well, that specific example isn't true: http://sheldonbrown.com/headsets.html
Sheldon Brown's site is amazing but I'm afraid it's going to get increasingly stale now that he's passed on. I've thought it'd be neat to turn the site into a wiki that can be maintained by bicycle enthusiasts.
His cycling in France articles were a pleasure to read.
