Buses are all ways much fuller and harder to get on, and depending on where you're going a taxi may be prohibitively expensive. I did a lot more cycling when I lived in London (one of many who got seriously into it after bombings), and considering how much friendlier it is to that than any other part of the country I know, I'd really recommend you get in to it to.
A lot of businesses are well used to the strikes, so depending on your boss there might be some leniency on getting in late or working from home - you know them better than me but it's worth asking.

Can you not hire bikes now from those "bike stations" for about a quid a day?

I've experienced one day in London where lines were closed etc. It really depends on your route and time of day really; in my experience timewise was the same, just a bit of effort logistically. The tube assistant was brilliant with me as he was local and knew what road routes/buses would be very,very busy.

Paddington - Angel. Looked at Tfl and I should be able to get there through some combo of tube and walking.

Hi Glyn. As you've probably noticed, it looks likely that you will only be able to access the Bakerloo Line at Paddington. If that's running you will want to take that and change for the Northern Line. It looks like Charing Cross station will be closed so you might want to change at Embankement or Waterloo. Angel station looks like it will not be open, so it looks like a walk from Euston or King's Cross St Pancras to Angel. Best of luck!
