Crossword Genius

I spin on a cycle, balanced and moving (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inspirational

'moving' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'i spin on a cycle balanced' is the wordplay.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a cycle' indicates an anagram.
'balanced' becomes 'rational' (both can mean sensible).
'i' after 'spin' is 'spini'.
'spini' with letters rearranged gives 'inspi'.
'inspi'+'rational'='INSPIRATIONAL'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for inspirational that I've seen before include "stirring" , "Encouraging motivation" , "(Of idea) touched with genius" , "Tending to stimulate the mind" , "Generating an elevated feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
