  We study joint distributions of cycles and patterns in permutations written
in standard cycle form. We explore both classical and generalised patterns of
length 2 and 3. Many extensions of classical theory are achieved; bivariate
generating functions for inversions, ascents, descents, 123s, valleys, 1'-2-1s;
closed forms forms for avoidance of peaks, 2-3-1s, 1-2-3s, 2'-1-2s and 1'-2-1s;
bijective proofs of Wilf-equivalences.
  We also derive some results about standard pattern occurrence, such as
continued fractions for the generating functions for occurrences of valleys and
the pattern 123.
  The methods are simple and combinatorial in nature: direct enumerative
analysis and bijections to lattice paths.
