I'm meeting up shortly with Paul Clarke (@paul_clarke) who is ferrying Londoners about the city for free rides on his motorcycle as they try to deal with the RMT union tube strike.
His #tweetbike has been taking requests for riders across the city, as they tweet him requests for rides. Follow along via Twitter to see tube strike updates, by watching the hashtag #tubestike, as this social media experiment unfolds.
I plan to tweet and record an Audioboo interview with Paul Clarke about his experiences.
I'm not sure how I'll get back from today's meeting in East London, but expect an adventure.
I've also blogged here about the strike today.
Good luck wherever you are today in getting there and getting home,
-Lisa
