Ride round working in strong wind (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cyclone

'strong wind' is the definition.
(a cyclone involves strong winds)

'ride round working' is the wordplay.
'ride' becomes 'cycle' (to cycle is to ride a bicycle).
'round' is an insertion indicator.
'working' becomes 'on' (e.g. a machine is working or on).
'cycle' placed around 'on' is 'CYCLONE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for cyclone that I've seen before include "Typhoon" , "Violent whirling wind" , "lots of wind" , "Whirlwind or twister" , "Violent storm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
