Morphology

cycler = cycle (transparent) = cycle + er

This is a straightforward agent noun formed from 'cycle' plus '-er' meaning a person who cycles.

Etymology

Cycler comes from the word cycle meaning 'circle' or 'wheel turning', plus the ending -er meaning 'someone who does something'. So a cycler is literally someone who makes the wheels turn — a person who rides a bicycle.
