The present invention relates to a bicycle tyre, specifically to the walls of a bicycle tyre. The invention aims to combine, on at least one wall of a bicycle tyre, a toothed section having a substantially radial generatrix, positioned circumferentially on the wall of the tyre and intended for engaging with a matching toothed section of an electric device for a bicycle, and a retro-reflecting strip for visual detection of the bicycle in the dark. Said aim has been achieved by a bicycle tyre (1) which includes two walls (2) linking a tread (3) having two beads (4), a continuous toothed section (5), with a generatrix (G) which is substantially radial relative to the axis of rotation of the tyre in the axial direction (&Ugr;&Ugr;'), positioned circumferentially on an axially external surface (21) of at least one wall (2) and including an elastomer material. According to the invention, a retro-reflecting strip (6) is positioned circumferentially on the wall (2), axially outward from the axially outermost surface (21) of the wall (2) and radially outward from the toothed section (5), a strip mounting (7) is axially inserted between the retro-reflecting strip (6) and the axially outermost surface (21) of the wall (2), and an axially external surface (71) of the strip mounting (7), onto which the retro-reflecting strip (6) is applied, forms an angle (A) no higher than 30° with the radial direction (&Zgr;&Zgr;') of the tyre. |
