Sheldon Brown died on February 4, 2008 -- but this site is being actively maintained, updated and expanded by his wife, Harriet Fell, and his close friend John Allen, co-author of most editions of Sutherland's Handbook for Bicycle Mechanics.
Harris Cyclery closed in 2021 and we have removed links to the Harris pages where we have found them -- but that is still a work in progress. We are supporting updating the site with Google ads on our pages. Please patronize our Google Ads sponsors to keep this site growing and improving.
Work on the site will include, more or less in order, but overlapping:
If you like the site, tell somebody about it! Put a link on your own site, or, better yet, multiple links! We encourage people to link to individual articles, or sub-directories where appropriate, and to individual definitions in the Bicycle Glossary. We will keep the URLs stable so your links will not go bad.
