A bicycle wheel system 101 comprises a bicycle wheel 102 and at least one wheel cover 104. The bicycle wheel 102 comprises attachment means (112, figure 2) for removably attaching the wheel cover 104 to the bicycle wheel 102. The wheel cover 104 is interchangeable with wheel covers of different dimensions (e.g. rim depths, profiles and/or widths) such that the wheel cover 104 fitted to the bicycle wheel 102 is suited to the riding conditions. The wheel cover 104 can be chosen to minimise the aerodynamic drag of the bicycle wheel 102 and/or how readily the bicycle wheel 102 might catch a cross-wind, which can be two competing considerations. The wheel cover 104 may be formed in two or more sections such that it can be interchanged with another wheel cover 104 (or simply removed) without removing the wheel 102 from the bicycle frame.
