A cycle is available (6)
I believe the answer is:
around
'available' is the definition.
(around can mean unoccupied or available)
'a cycle' is the wordplay.
'cycle' becomes 'round' (going round once).
'a'+'round'='AROUND'
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for around that I've seen before include "Present; approximately" , "On every side" , "More or less" , "In the area of" , "On all sides or near" .)
