Go by bike, holding on in high wind (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cyclone

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

'high wind' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both types of natural phenomena as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'go by bike holding on' is the wordplay.
'go by bike' becomes 'cycle' (I've seen this before).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'cycle' placed around 'on' is 'CYCLONE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cyclone that I've seen before include "Violent whirling wind" , "Violent windstorm" , "Hurricane" , "Tornado" , "Low pressure area or storm" .)
