Cycles along quiet winding dales (6)
I believe the answer is:
pedals
'cycles along' is the definition.
'pedals' can be an answer for 'cycles' ('pedal' can be a synonym of 'cycle'). I am not sure about the 'along' bit.
'quiet winding dales' is the wordplay.
'quiet' becomes 'p' (music symbol for 'piano', ie soft or quiet).
'winding' is an anagram indicator.
'dales' is an anagram of 'edals'.
'p'+'edals'='PEDALS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pedals that I've seen before include "Levers on a piano" , "Foot-rests or drivers on a bicycle" , "Cycles" , "Foot levers" .)
