I include the entire post so no one will accuse me of taking things out of context.



So … he is saddened that people go to a shop, buy bikes, and bring those bikes back to the shop for service …. Which is pretty much …. What a Bike Shop Is For.

For some reason, bikes shops functioning as bike shops saddens him
Now you're going to make him even sadder because you don't understand what makes him sad.

It's so weird, the post appears to be a complete non sequitur with his highlighted language having absolutely no logical connection to the part of the quote you highlighted. Thanks for confirming it's not just me who can't follow him.
