cycled

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'did a turn' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with motion as well as being past participle verbs.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'series director' is the wordplay.
'series' becomes 'cycle' (cycle is a kind of series).
'director' becomes 'd'.
'cycle'+'d'='CYCLED'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cycled that I've seen before include "Pedalled" , "Went by bicycle" , "Went round and round - on bike?" , "Rode" , "Went by push-bike" .)
