There are four ways onto a team’s roster. Your coach picked one of them, so skip to whichever matches what you were handed.

A code like ABCD-1234

Read out at practice or printed on a flyer.

A link ending in /join/…

Pasted in a team group chat or text.

An email invite

Sent to you personally by a team admin.

An apply button

On the team’s public page, when the team reviews applicants.
All four need a Time2Bike account first. If you don’t have one, create an account — it takes a minute and it’s free.

​
Join with a code

1

Go to time2.bike/join

Sign in if you aren’t already.
!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The /join screen with the empty code box.
2

Type the code and click Look up

Codes look like ABCD-1234. Capitalization doesn’t matter.Time2Bike works out on its own whether it’s a team code or a league code — you don’t have to know which one you were given.
3

Pick who's joining

You’ll see every rider profile on your account. Tick each person who is joining this team.A parent signing up three kids ticks all three here and does this once. If someone isn’t on your account yet, click Add someone and create their profile without leaving the page.
!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — The join screen showing three rider rows ticked, each with the Athlete / Coach / Manager pills.
4

Set each person's role

Under each name, pick Athlete, Coach, or Manager:
  • Athlete — races for the team.
  • Coach — runs practices, manages riders.
  • Manager — paperwork and logistics, doesn’t coach.
A family enrolling three kids and a parent who coaches picks three athletes and one coach, all from the same code.
5

Click Join

You’re on the roster.
Claiming coach or manager on a rider code doesn’t take effect immediately. You land on the roster, but a team admin has to confirm it before you count as staff. You’ll see a message saying so — don’t assume it went through. If your coach gave you the staff code instead, it takes effect straight away.

​
If the team races in a league

Right after you join, Time2Bike checks whether the team races under a league. If it does, you’ll be shown what’s still owed — dues, agreements to sign, consent — right there on the page, rather than leaving you to discover it the morning of a race. You can finish it then, or come back to the team page later. Either way, it has to be done before that rider can start. A link like time2.bike/join/ABCD-1234 is the same thing with the code filled in. Open it, sign in, and you land straight on the “who’s joining” step above. Any member of a team can share this link — you don’t have to be an admin to recruit the next rider.

​
Accept an email invite

A team admin can invite you by email. Open the email and click the link — it signs you in and adds you. See Accepting an invite for what the different kinds of Time2Bike invites do.

​
Apply to join

Some teams review who joins. Those teams have an Apply to join button on their public page at time2.bike/team/[slug].
1

Open the team's page and click Apply to join

!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — A team’s public page with the Apply to join button.
2

Say who the application is for

Pick the rider profile this application belongs to, or create one.
3

Pick what you're applying as

Athlete, coach, or manager — if the team accepts staff applications at all. Teams that only want riders won’t show the choice.
4

Work through the form

Teams build their own form, so this varies. It may be one page or several, with text answers, multiple choice, numbers, and file uploads (a photo, a signed form, a certification).
!!-IMAGE-NEEDED-!! — Page 2 of a multi-page team application form.
5

Review and submit

Check your answers and send it. The team’s admins are notified.
Your application sits as Pending until a team admin approves or rejects it. You’ll be added to the roster automatically if it’s approved.

​
Add another one of your riders later

Already on a team and want to add a second rider from your account? Open the team, go to Members, and use the Add to roster prompt at the top — it appears whenever you own a profile that isn’t on this roster yet.

​
Leaving a team

Open the team’s Members page, find your own row (marked You), and click Take off roster. You can always remove your own profiles, even as a plain member.
