cyclone

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

'big storm' is the definition.
'cyclone' can be an answer for 'storm' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'big' bit.

'ride bike around' is the wordplay.
'ride' becomes 'on' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bike' becomes 'cycle' (synonyms).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'on' going inside 'cycle' is 'CYCLONE'.

'on' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cyclone that I've seen before include "Hurricane" , "Tornado" , "lots of wind" , "Violent whirling wind" , "Violent storm" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
