People cycle: cycling creates forbearing attitude (8)
I believe the answer is:
clemency
'forbearing attitude' is the definition.
'clemency' can be an answer for 'forbearing' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'attitude' bit.
'people cycle cycling' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'people' could be 'men' (men are people) and 'men' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'cycle' is 'clecy' which is present in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'creates' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for clemency that I've seen before include "Leniency and compassion towards offenders" , "Mercy, lenience" , "Quality of being merciful" , "The quality of mercy" , "Mercifulness" .)
