Thanks to Sheldon's high speed typing I offer for your delectation the wording of the Citation
which accompanied his Certificate of Commendation from the UK's Cyclists' Touring Club.

This certificate was the result of a motion put to the CTC by members who are active on
uk.rec.cycling and other newsgroups.

Sheldon brown has spent a substantial amount of time building and maintaining probably the most
comprehensive cyclists' reference on the Internet at sheldonbrown.comsheldonbrown.comOpen ↗

His site contains the distilled essence of decades of experience with cycles of all shapes and
sizes, offered to all free of charge and for the love of cycling. It is the first port of call for
technical information for cyclists around the world and is an invaluable source of information for
novice cyclists and experts alike.

In addition to maintaining his website Sheldon is active on all the main cycling newsgroups,
offering advice and humorous comment as well as responding to direct questions. The frequent
requests for help must represent a huge distraction to a man of many interests, yet he is
unfailingly courteous and never condescending to the beginner.

Sheldon's website and his freely-given advice are an enormous service to cyclists everywhere and
in the finest traditions of cycling.

I think the funniest thing on the A-Z is that, under "Helmet" it just says ****.

Subversive?

That looks good and I think he is well deserving of it.
