Abstract: Described herein are frame elements for bicycles, and bicycles comprising such frame elements, which are moveable and/or morphable. The frame elements may be moveable and/or morphable in response to an external force, such as an aerodynamic wind load, or a control mechanism operatively connected thereto. Examples of the moveable and/or morphable frame elements include a front fork or one or more sections of the front fork, a seat tube or one or more sections of the seat tube, a cockpit or one or more sections of the cockpit, handlebars or one or more sections of the handlebars, a seat tube or one or more sections of the seat tube, a seat post or one or more sections of the seat post, a top tube or one or more sections of the top tube, and a head tube or one or more sections of the head tube.

Abstract: Accessories for improving aerodynamic characteristics of wheels comprising: an outer rim configured to operatively couple with a tire; an inner rim configured to be located radially inward of the outer rim at a radial distance away from a wheel hub; an adaptable circumferential membrane, configured to operatively couple to both the inner rim and the outer rim, being structurally configured to adapt to an external force and change shape when subject to the external forces; and an attachment assembly configured to operatively couple the adaptable circumferential membrane to the outer rim and the inner rim as an overlay to wheel structural elements coupling the hub to the tire. The adaptable circumferential membrane comprises at least one air engaging flexible and aerodynamic surface configured to deform under the external force and to return to a neutral position when the external force is no longer present.
