    Indeed it's not good news for Sheldon. Undoubtedly he'll have the good vibes
    of zillions of cyclists heading his way. Hoping that the well-wishes of
    cyclists does at least give him cheer.

    He's not been good for a while now but its sad it looks like his cycling
    days are over. A cruel twist for someone that loves cycling so much.

    Damn.

    Why can't this type of stuff strike down the arsonists who started the
    Esperanza fire rather than the good guys? Clearly there is no God.

    Or, he/she/it doesn't dole out rewards as we'd like. At least, not in
    this lifetime.

    Sheldon deserves rewards.

    Terribly sad news. My adopted sister has MS and my agency deals with
    hundreds so afflicted. I have nothing but good wishes for him and his

    Wow, I had no idea (I didn't follow Sheldon's blogs). However, one of
    Sheldon's pictures from this year's Interbike did strike me as a bit
    peculiar, that of his rental "motorized" vehicle. At the time I just
    thought he sprained/broke his leg, and needed some ambulatory
    assistance.

    If you're reading this Sheldon, I want you to know that more than
    anyone else, you have been responsible for getting me back on the bike
    after a long hiatus (off my fat ass), and rekindling my interest in
    bikes once again. It is indeed a perverse universe which we live that
    you, of all people would be diagnosed and afflicted with MS. Good
    wishes to you and your family.

    BUMMER!

    I recently started riding again this spring after a 5 year break due to
    health issues. Since I was a little kid, cycling has always been one of
    those simple joys in life and something that keeps me inspired and
    energized.

    Good luck Sheldon, your web site has brought me a lot of chuckles plus
    great technical information. I admire the amount of effort that you've
    put into it. Thanks.

    Chas.

    Add these electrons to those wishing Sheldon well and thanking him for
    enriching our world. I expect he'll continue to do so for many more
    years yet.

    Since taking up cycling about 2 years ago at the ripe old age of 56 I've come to
    rely on Sheldon's site. The Internet certainly has made the world a smaller
    place. I feel a sense of sadness and wish Sheldon all the best and hope he and
    his family find the strenth and support from the many friends they certainly
    must have.

    Sheldon and his website have been an important part of my bicycling
    education. I wish him only the best and my thoughts go out to him and
    his family.
