In video games: A process of overriding automatic saves by manually saving your game at points that may prove to be challenging or likely to lead to a death or a game over screen.
Save cycling can also be used to manipulate RNG in order to leave the player with a more favorable item pickup or enemy encounter, and is often done multiple times in a row.
Most importantly, this is not an intended use of the game-save feature and normally requires an exploit such as unlinking auto-save data (often a cloud save), so it cannot be automatically overwritten and requires manual intervention.

I just couldn't beat the third boss after going through the whole level again, so I save cycled just before the encounter and did it on my third try!
Save cycling was my only option to get the ultra rare spank emote; it took 100 tries, but I got the Platinum trophy!

Performance and standards of a street legal motorcycle however, the rider is standing on a platform or “deck” instead of sitting down.
I started riding Go-ped scooters as a kid, now I have a motorcycle license and ride a stander cycle.

A whiskey-cycle is a moped or scooter that is used by a person who has lost his driver's license after receiving a DWI (driving while intoxicated). These vehicles do not require a license. They also go very slow, and are sometimes a hazard, especially at night.
