What a bellend... if you work in a bike shop and publicly slate any kind of bike riders then you're a bit of a ballsack really. Even if you didn't ride fixed, your best friend, your brother, your girlfriend or someone else you love/respect might... that's like working in a pub and saying 'people who drink carling are bellends, they must have no tastebuds, or they must be tramps because they can't afford better lager'... insulting your customers is not a particularly good way of going about business...
However, if he'd said that trials riding is an ugly form of bicycling, completely devoid of flow and rhythm and smoothness, and should be banned and all enthusiasts shot, then he'd have been spot on
