george, this story, this investigation really grew organically out of a different one. >> it's one of those that originated after our first story, and then with the social media discussions that followed it. back in may, we did this story, a review of bicycle crashes. we looked at specific intersections and roads and spoke to cyclists about their push to crack down on speeding drivers. but viewer responses, and guys, there were a lot of them, asked us to look at how much the cyclists themselves were breaking the rules. and that is what we have done for tonight. the video tells a lot of this story. >> george, back in the investigators unit, you guys really put a lot of data behind your reporting. for this report, you guys ran your own survey. >> right. part of it is we didn't just want this to be a story about, look at this cyclist running a red light. we wanted a way to quantify it. we set up our own unscientific survey for this story. watching five different intersections and five different philly neighborhoods. we counted vehicle by vehicle,

hundreds of them, cyclists by cyclists. it allowed us to talk about a bigger picture in terms of what drivers tell us they are seeing on the streets of philadelphia. >> in addition to getting both sides of this, too. >> yes. >> excellent. george, thank you very much. you can see his investigation bicyclist backlash tonight on nbc 10 right after the olympics. we know what that music means. it is time for eagles fans to return to south philadelphia. the birds's 'first preseason game less than two hours away right here at lincoln financial field. >> csn's john clark is live there this afternoon. how are the players looking and feeling going into the new season? >> reporter: it is hot out here, but we're in the shady area. that's pretty good. a lot of the players are right behind me warming up. i tell you what, they are excited. a lot of the young players, their first chance to show they belong on this team. it is the debut of doug

this is bay. not the woman, but the car. the woman is ariel reamer, bay's owner. >> i love my car. this is like my baby. >> reporter: she pulls out all the stops when it comes to care. >> i take it to get washed once a week, i keep ul on its oil changes. >> reporter: back in march, an air bag recall forced her to put bay in park for a month. the automaker picked up the cost for the rental from enterprise. she left that car parked, too, while she went on vacation. when she returned, she discovered damage to the rental. >> the back windows had been smashed out. >> reporter: rocks were lying on the car. >> the first reaction was to call 911. >> reporter: reamer tells us the cop who showed up said the rental shouldn't even have been on the road. >> the tags and registration had within expired the entire month i had the car. >> reporter: the rental company charged her $500 for damages. she decided to reach out to "nbc

10 responds." >> i just needed somebody to help me. >> reporter: we reached out to enterprise. the company acknowledged it did rent her the car with expired tags. and sent a statement that said in part, quote, we apologize. therefore, we are waiving the cost of the damage. >> so happy. can i hug you? >> sure thing. all right. >> thank you. >> you're so welcome. that's very nice that she got that waived. we talked to enterprise. they said customers should know they are responsible for damages to rentals while in their possession. the company also says they are investigating how they rented reamer a car with expired tags. stating that's not how it does business. so, our "nbc 10 responds" recovery counter with that money now brings our counter up to $76,647. >> how many hugs? >> i can't keep count of the hugs. >> you're making a difference one way or the other.

i think a lot of people appreciate it and are turning to you guys for help. >> thank you. >> harry, thanks so much. if you have a consumer complaint for harry and nbc 10 respon responds, or nbc10.com. or call. >> add more money to the counter. coming up tomorrow on "nbc 10 responds," harry will answer your consumer questions on air. look for that tomorrow on nbc 10 news at 5:00. now, to your first alert weather. before the heat, some areas saw a few storms this morning. people were dodging that heavy rain in society hill. the lucky ones had their umbrellas. the storms were even enough to take down this tree in east falls. a viewer took this video on lincoln drive. look at that. completely blocked one side of the road during rush hour. now the rain, it's gone. the heat, though, really setting in. >> it is. sheena parveen has more on this first alert.
