Sinclair was most famous for inventing the tiny, affordable ZX80, ZX81, and ZX Spectrum computers. These inspired a generation of Britons to pursue computer science. As well, Sinclair invented the pocket calculator, a miniature television, foldable bicycles, and the financially unsuccessful C5 electric trike.
Outside inventing, his interests included poetry, running marathons and poker. He is survived by his wife Belinda, his sons, Crispin and Bartholomew, aged 55 and 52 respectively, five grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
