Bike Mudflap or Rugflap

Although I have fenders on my commuter bike, my feet still get wet when riding through some large puddles.  The over-spray is just at shoe height as it comes off the fender and mudflap.  We have seen beer cans repurposed for this cause and I have been thinking about what other materials might work for me.  I witnessed one possibility on a recent trip to NYC.  As always, food delivery riders never disappoint when it comes to hacks.

I certainly would not want anything from the streets of NYC on me, and this entrepreneurial rider seems to have taken an old door mat rug and repurposed it into a mudflap.

The best homemade mud flap that I've seen was made from a used bicycle tire. The fellow cut it out of a worn out mountain bike tire to the common shape. The tire was pre-formed to the proper shape and curvature, waterproof, durable and flexible.
