For mange om bord er det blevet en vane, at man efter udskejning sætter sig op på cyklen.

Is this shore leave or similar?

work off a hangover


Explanation:
Sounds like putting in some time on a stationary (exercise) bike after having had a few too many drinks.
Most ships today are outfitted with exercise rooms, and I cannot imagine sailors today going out for bike rides, especially if they are drunk
