Cycling Membership Information
How to Join:
Anyone is welcome to join our mailing list to see ride postings; we just ask that, before or when you come on a ride, you please submit a Club Sports Waiver to comply with MIT Club Sports policy.
To join the club, please fill out the Club Sports Waiver, Cycling Membership Form, and Non-Disclosure Agreement. New waivers are required each school year (i.e. you need to fill out another one even if you have been on the team in the past). Forms collected over the summer are still valid.
Also, if you plan to become a club or racing member, please make out checks to "MIT Cycling". Dues are $40 for club membership, $140 for limited racing (6 days), or $240 for unlimited racing.
You can send all of these forms and checks to the secretary at the following address:
If you already have balcony access, you can also leave them there.
All new dues-paying members (club and racing) will also need to create a Club Manager account at cycling.mit.edu/members . This is very important, because it is how we manage race and other team-coordinated events (such as Mt. Wachusett hill climb) logistics. So, please create an account; it will only take a couple of minutes.
