Dear Susy,
I am curious where you think your sense of entitlement comes from. You say, “Gee, we have no place to train.“ So what? Why does that suddenly give you the right to appropriate the public roads for your sport? Are you suddenly the SXM National Bike team with some sort of Government authority to do whatever you want where ever it occurs to you to do it? I doubt it.
Or maybe the guys playing soccer or cricket should just set up a pitch wherever they please on Airport Boulevard because they feel like it. Now that would be worth watching.
How about this: All you guys all dressed up in your very best wannabe Tour de France outfits hump yourself down to the Receiver’s Office and buy yourself some license plates and insurance for your bikes. Then maybe you might have a leg to stand on for your complaints. Then you might consider actually obeying the traffic laws, lines in the road, lanes, etc. It’s a novel concept, I know, but give it a shot.
In the meantime, how about just keeping your sport to yourselves and staying out of the way. You are in no position to lecture anyone. As for the rest, my plate number is V2610. Feel free to send your delegation my way any time you want and see how that works out for them. I’ll look forward to meeting them head on.
Steven Johnson
