    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.

  5. Sheldon Brown has done more for my understanding of the bicycle and
    cycling enjoyment than any other person. I can't think of how much
    money, frustration and greasy handed hours his writings have saved me.

    I like thousands of others worldwide want to see the smiling face with
    the kool-aid orange beard back on the bike.

    I'm hoping for a stem cell therapy breakthrough and praying for a
    miracle even if Sheldon doesn't even believe in gods, angels or the FSM.

    Another reason to do MS rides, aside from my relatives. The next one's for
    you, Sheldon.

    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.

    Terribly sad news. My adopted sister has MS and my agency deals with

    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.

    The Flying Spagetti Monster can cure MS? Wait until Congress hears
    about this...

    Best wishes, Sheldon. Since I'm dealing with my own chronic condition
    (Type 1 diabetes), I have a little sense of what's going on with you
    right now.

    I also want to give you credit for reigniting my interest in Sturmey
    three-speeds. Once I get the project finished, I'll post pictures.

    Add these electrons to those wishing Sheldon well and thanking him for

    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.

    I too have only recently started riding again after first a lack of
    motivation and then a battle with cancer. I'm now in remission and that
    has rekindled my enthusiasm.

    I was pleased to recently discover Sheldon's web site. I have enjoyed
    many hours of reading is articles and there is no question that Mr. Brown
    has inspired many riders.

    I can only wish him the best and thank him for what he has given to our
    sport.
