Felix Smith

Video manager

Felix is BikeRadar's road video lead, working predominantly on our YouTube channel. Felix spent much of his youth riding mountain bikes and documenting it through photography and video. After completing a degree in natural history Photography, he picked up a contract to produce video content for the UK’s enduro mountain biking series, alongside a role as a production engineer for ICE Trikes. In 2017, prior to joining BikeRadar, Felix quit his job to go bikepacking from one end of Japan to the other. After returning a year later with a few tales to tell, he began working at BikeRadar with more cycling adventures in mind. He has since been swept up in the self-supported, ultra-endurance cycling world, taking part in the TransAtlantic Way race in 2019. As a result, Felix loves to find the limits of endurance bikes and bikepacking gear for BikeRadar, while he also lets his competitive side loose during gravel races and hill climbs. Felix is an experienced videographer, but the keen-eyed might spot him taking a presenting role in our long-standing BikeRadar Diaries series. Away from work, Felix can be found zenning out with his collection of exotic houseplants, as well as getting lost on his bike.
