Problem - Cycle/Action not working - stops after last frame

I have had AS8 for about a week or so and am stuck

I am working on an animation of a man riding a tricycle and can't seem to get the pedaling to work properly.

I have created an Action for it, done the keyframes of moving bones and pedals to the appropriate locations...created a full cycle so it would be smooth. I also set up the cycling feature...

When I preview it in actions, it looks fine--my guy pedals through the "cycle" which repeats the frames over and over.

For some weird reason, when I select the action in my scene, and queue him up to go through several pedal cycles, he stops after the first one and "glides" through the rest of the frames without pedaling.

Can someone please help me understand what I am doing wrong here?

Can you post the file so we can see it? It would be easier to find out what's wrong if we can see the file. I think you might have the cycle set to absolute option when you probably need the relative option or there is a keyframe in the main timeline that is breaking the cycle.
