Become a member of the Mount Baker Bicycle Club

The Mount Baker Bicycle Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit club, run entirely by a dedicated (and growing in number!) team of volunteers. The club runs many programs, all intended to support safe and frequent bicycling for our members and guests.

Annual membership fees are due every January, and membership is for the calendar year. Members who join after October 1 each year will have their membership extended into the following year.

Individual Membership

Current rate for an Individual Membership is $35.

Family Membership

A Family Membership is available to folks living in the same household with the same mailing address. The current rate for Family Membership is $50.

Family Memberships consist of:

• A Primary Member: The person responsible for renewing the membership, etc. Primary Members can join rides, become Ride Leaders, and have full access to the website features with login.
• An Associate Member: Each Family Membership includes one Associate Member. They have the same general privileges as the Primary Member, with their own web account, etc.
• Three additional Family Members: Family members may join club rides with the Primary or Associate Member. They are not eligible to become Ride Leaders, and they do not have website access.

What do my dues and donations support?

The Mount Baker Bicycle Club tries to keep our expenses low, by relying on volunteers who dedicate their time; on local sponsors who contribute cash, products, and time; and on local tourism and recreational grants.

However many of our supported programs have costs associated with them, and your membership dues and donations help keep these programs running. Examples of our programs are:

• Website:

• annual members' reception and membership drive party
• MBBC classes and education:
