Robyn Furtado

Senior videographer

Robyn Furtado is one of the videographers for BikeRadar’s Youtube channel. Robyn is mostly found riding gravel bikes or mountain bikes, while seeking out Bristol’s muddiest trails. She has been riding bikes all her life but really fell in love with cycling after riding the Pacific Coast Trail, from Vancouver to Mexico, back in 2016. Since then, Robyn has been bikepacking and cycle touring on numerous long-distance trips, across Europe, New Zealand and the UK. Her main cycling philosophy is: if somewhere exists, you can probably cycle to it (given enough time and determination, anyway). Robyn has previously worked as a photographer and videographer for Evans Cycles. As well as being a videographer, she is also a contributor to BikeRadar.com and can be found in front of the camera as one of our video presenters.
