I recently started taking the train to work and now have to carry two bags - one for work stuff and one for workout stuff. I'm looking to consolidate my laptop and its accessories (charger, mouse, etc.), a portfolio (roughly the size of a three-ring binder), pair of running shoes (size 13), workout clothes (t-shirt, shorts, etc.) and a small shaving kit into one bag. I've been able to find back packs that can accommodate either my work stuff or my workout stuff, but I haven't found a bag that's actually been designed to accommodate both. I can't believe such a bag doesn't already exist and I'm hoping some veteran city commuter can help me find one. Can you help?

Why do you need to carry your running shoes and shaving kit with you back and forth? Why not leave those at the office in a bag you can take to the gym? Then you are only carrying your clothes which should fit in one bag with your work stuff. Right? The money you save by NOT buying a new bag you can buy a second pair of running shoes for use at home. Most larger laptop bags should be able to accomodate the rest of the stuff. I would get something in nylon or synthetics since leather weighs about 50 percent more. Check either Eagle Creek or Targus or check Overstock.com for clearance items.
Good luck
