It was a chance meeting as he stopped to take a photo of one of my vintage bikes a RIGI. We chatted for a moment and he explained he took the photo for his collection as he never saw a RIGI in the flesh so to speak. I was able to capture a photo of him taking a photo of my bike and it is attached here. Just my small tribut to a legend in the hobby.

All we can do is remember his wonderful contributions and personality and try to keep his vision of our community alive. i loved what he would write about his family, and how he cared about them so deeply. what a wonderful person who selfless gave so much of himself in order for others to enjoy cycling. may his family find comfort and strength in the thoughts of thousands or millions who are thinking of you during this difficult time. respectfully, binny bin it is hard to find the words to give props to someone who has made such a huge impact on individuals as well as the entire cycling community of the world at large. nobody will ever be able to fill the void of Sheldon.
