So, if you're in London, you might have noticed a Transport for London Tube strike today. It's now Day two of the strike, with more to come next week. Queues for buses go back for miles (but, as we are Brits, we still queue), but Transport for London has said that a third of routes on Tubes are operating.Bike hires were all up 70 per cent.
Journeys on @BarclaysCycle Hire were up 70 per cent this morning compared to normal levels http://t.co/2LVrnPVPLNhttp://t.co/luV78pDuTM
