Membership
Thank you for your interest in joining Keep It Tight!
Do you love road, MTB, or cyclocross?
Are you a seasoned veteran or just trying to get into the sport?
Do you strive for a balance between work, family, and fitness?
If you answered yes to these questions then you might be an ideal candidate for the Keep It Tight Cycling Club
The team’s core group of riders is located in and around Arlington, Lexington, and Cambridge, MA but we have several athletes of all levels from around New England. If you aren’t from “these parts” don’t let that deter you, as we’d love to see “satellite” groups forming throughout the country.
Team Keep It Tight is open to everyone, regardless of ability or racing experience. See the Membership Responsibilities and Benefits below then complete the membership form to register with the team.

Member responsibilities:
- Ride in a respectful, safe, and legal fashion. Keep It Tight members are highly visible and a public presence for our sponsors in particular and cyclists in general. Keep the roads safe for all users by minding your responsibilities.
- Wear your helmet on all rides and your team kit on a regular basis.
- Volunteer in at least one club event, be a captain, or sponsor the club.

- You are asked to represent Keep It Tight and our community in a positive manner at all times, both on and off the bike. (KIT reserves the right to remove riders from the team due to improper or unsportsmanlike behavior.)
