Abstract
Provided is a bicycle tire for use with a bicycle wheel. The bicycle tire includes a tire body defining a closed loop and being configured to be engagable with the bicycle wheel. The tire body defines an outer periphery and includes an exposed portion extending radially outward from the bicycle wheel when engaged therewith. The exposed portion is externally configured to define a partial, non-circular ellipse in a cross sectional plane perpendicular to the tangent of the outer periphery. The partial ellipse includes a closed end portion at the outer periphery and an open end portion adjacent the bicycle wheel. A plurality of nubs is attached to the tire body, with the nubs being configured to remain attached thereto during the life of the bicycle tire. The nubs are sized and configured to enhance the aerodynamics of the bicycle tire as the tire rotates and translates through a fluid.
