eats

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

This might be a double definition.

'has' is the first definition.
(eating is a kind of having)

'saddle cycling' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eats that I've seen before include "Ingests" , "Devours - food" , "what is on the Christmas menu" , "worrying" , "Sate (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
