Mud Room is a start-up focused specifically on the needs of digital professionals and academics who commute to work by cycling or walking (computer commuters).

Mud Room backpacks are unique for the product feature set. Mud Room backpacks have footwear-specific compartments for carrying footwear separately from the main storage compartment. The footwear specific compartments give computer commuters the flexibility of wearing to work one pair of shoes while carrying another pair of shoes separately in compartments in the backpack for changing into at work or afterwards.

Mud Room Overview Fit for an active lifestyle

Mud Room is an innovative backpack for the digital professional

1. Healthy living• By cycling to work, a 200 lb. person can lose over 10 lbs by riding to work 2-3 times per

week for an entire year – (10K/30 min. each way. 3,500 calories = 1lb.)2. Save Money

• An average household spends around $8,000 each year on transport, of which $2,500 on average is for fuel ($3,500 pre-tax dollars).

• By cycling to work instead of driving, it is possible to save around $50 a week through a reduction in parking, fuel and vehicle maintenance costs.

3. Reduce carbon footprint - emissions from cycling (21g/day) are over 10 times lower than those stemming from the passenger car (230g/day) Source: Bike Portland 2012
