Dens solus idoneus est
With sadness we report the death of one of cycling’s greatest Internet proponents. Earlier today the Harris Cyclery announced that Sheldon Brown has died of a heart attack.
“One of the cycling community’s most passionate members,” Sheldon was an inspiring writer, inventor, mechanic and fixie rider whose knowledge created possibly the best archive of bicycle technical information on the internet.
Our thoughts are with his family and everyone else who will miss him.
…OK, I know it’s not stricly singlespeed, but Jedi’s just posted his latest video on pinkbike and, despite the Stateside soundtrack, it’s awe-inspiring homegrown riding, especially the all-one-shot middle section.
If you happen to be passing the Design Museum out on the very bijou more-East-than-Tower-Bridge section of the South Bank, have a look in The Tank.
The Wilson Brothers, designers, cyclists and fixed wheel enthusiasts, have a small show of four bikes. There’s a brilliant old “safety bicycle”, a prime courier bike, a lovely Dolan track bike and a concept bike created by the brothers. Worth checking out, but it’s only there until 9th September.
