July 14, 1944 - February 3, 2008 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheldon_Brown_(bicycle_mechanic))

QuoteSheldon Brown (July 14, 1944 - February 3, 2008) was an American bicycle mechanic and technical authority.[2] He maintained an extensive website containing detailed articles relating to bicycle mechanics and maintenance, as well as a thorough glossary of bicycling terminology. His trademark beard and plastic helmet-mounted eagle,[3] named Igor, were matters of frequent comment.

When I read that I imagined him being chased by massive hearts.

Vaguely recognise the face but must admit I dont know much about him.
