That's my hometown. FWPD and the folks from surrounding areas -- Benbrook, etc. -- are generally very cyclist-friendly. They've accompanied us on some large event group rides, and provided traffic control. We try to return the courtesy by managing our smaller group rides pretty much the same way the police would if they accompanied us. Seems to work out pretty well.
