Serpa has honed her skills in a variety of crafts over the years and more recently turned her hand to the handmade leather trade. We got to know how her Mongrel 125cc fits into her busy lifestyle, especially getting around the big smoke with ease and style.

How long have you been riding?

November marks two years, it’s been such a cool journey. I’m just on my CBT at the moment but working to get my full licence by the end of the year. Dying to ditch the L plate.

What attracted you to Mutt/the Mongrel?

I’ve always gravitated towards brands that feel authentic and steeped in tradition while being able to have this classic timeless edge, Mutt to me really embodies this. 

What are the pros of commuting in London on your bike?

Being able to move through London easily on my Mutt is life changing, gives me so much more freedom.

How was the monster ride to our HQ in Birmingham?

It was a total blast. It was my very first long ride and I had no idea what to expect or how my bike (or body) would handle it. Nothing really lives up to taking the bike out on such a long ride through beautiful landscapes, it’s very freeing.

Is there a destination you would like to go on your Mutt, an adventure you are yet to take?

Euro trip is definitely on the books, should probably upgrade the engine though haha, but for now - lots of little scenic trips in the UK.

What would be your advice for someone considering a low cc bike/someone getting into riding?

Respect the ride.
