Glimpse golf and cycling cheat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glance

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

'glimpse' is the definition.
(I know that glimpse can be written as glance)

'golf and cycling cheat' is the wordplay.
'golf' becomes 'g' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'cycling cheat' becomes 'lance' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'g'+'lance'='GLANCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glance that I've seen before include "Oblique impact" , "black shiny stuff" , "Take a quick look" , "fly off" , "A quick sideways look" .)

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