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 (YY'), 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 degrees with the radial direction (ZZ') of the tyre.
