That's a bit harsh - Sheldon Brown was in his early 60s when he died. Victoria Pendleton is 27. She has some time left to leave her mark on the world.
Anyway, I'm sure if you did a straw poll in the UK Pendleton would be recognised far more widely than Sheldon (whose 'fame' is restricted to a small group of people, i.e. cyclists).
