Sheldon Brown

Just zis Guy said:

Sheldon, if it's not too presumptuous, on behalf of the many British cyclists to whom you have
offered your wisdom over the years - thank you.

Seconded, I just wish I had a computer in the garage to look up his instructions ( on anything) 2
seconds BEFORE I needed them, rather than an hour after I have cocked the job up!

X-No-Archive: Yes

This is all well and good, but I'm a little disappointed. I was hoping you'd recognize the tireless
work of Fabrizio or that guy that's always ranting about a national bike path.

Seriously, though, thank you, Sheldon.

Congratulations Sheldon! Cycling Advocate and an Authority on Cycling Matters. I too use your
website quite a bit for reference. -tom

Earlier in the year a number of us who are regulars on uk.rec.cycling and also members of the
Cyclists' Touring Cub (CTC), the UK's largest and oldest cycling organisation (125 years this
year), proposed a motion to the CTC honouring Sheldon Brown for his tireless work.

I am pleased to say that this was approved, and the CTC have duly presented a Certificate of
Commendation.

I have today received the framed Certificate and accompanying Citation, both of which I will be
shipping to Sheldon soonest. It seems appropriate, though, to announce this via Usenet, and to
post below a scanned image of the Certificate - as a form of virtual presentation. The original
is, I hasten to add, nicely framed with gilt and calligraphy - any deficiency in the image is due
to my ineptitude with the scanner and the fact that I neglected to scan the certificate before it
was framed.

I haven't scanned the Citation as it's in a sealed envelope (having written the thing you would
think I'd have a copy, but no...) - no matter, though. We all know what Sheldon does. And nobody
does it better.

Looks pretty good to me - well done.

I'll add my "huzzahs" to the group too. Sheldon is a great asset to cycling. This award couldn't
happen to a better person.

Goodness me! I started this thread 4 years ago and it's resurfaced! You have to be careful of what
you say in case it's resurrected and used as evidence against you. I wonder if anyone wants to dig
up those helmet arguments I used to have with Tom Kunich?

Anyway, good on you Sheldon, it's people like you that keep the world turning in the right
direction.

Best regards Marty Wallace

Sheldon certainly deserves it. Congratulations !
