the EPD has changed over the last dozen years or so.   they seemed to lean towards a protect and serve attitude - now it's the b+d +ss, strong arm everything approach.  and traffic laws get enforced ..selectively.  i'll bet if you looked at a map of home values around, unless it's rural, it probably gets patrolled.  when and where I am in bethel, when I visit, l I don't see cops unless they are sitting by a school zone or are on a call. speed bumps out there is the extent of traffic control  +++
  I do support your commitment to commuting by bike.  gotta say though that bikes can be as dangerous to walkers as cars are to bikers. the mass of a car in a collision is much more of course , but it's not only mass that makes a collision dangerous.   the bikes come from all over - sometimes not the direction that car traffic flows, so a walker can get caught unawares.  some folks will tell you they are "on my left" - I always thank them.., a bell is nice.  but some warning please.
