Helen Cousins
Operations manager
Helen Cousins has been at BikeRadar since 2016 and has more than 13 years of writing and editing experience on a wide range of consumer and specialist titles. Helen is now our operations manager, working across BikeRadar, Cycling Plus and MBUK, and can be found riding her Liv Devote Advanced on the gravel tracks of Wiltshire and Somerset, or her Cannondale Synapse road bike on local country lanes. In winter, Helen prefers to head indoors on Zwift, but her favourite place to ride is Mallorca, for sunnier climes and epic climbs.
