An idiot cycling with Alf (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

halfwit

'an idiot' is the definition.
(both can mean a stupid person)

'cycling with alf' is the wordplay.
'cycling' is an anagram indicator.
'with'+'alf'='withalf'
'withalf' is an anagram of 'HALFWIT'.

(Other definitions for halfwit that I've seen before include "Being stupid" , "Charlie?" , "One only 50% all there?" , "Mug" , "Idiot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
