Like a shed, is able to accommodate some bikes (5)

I believe the answer is:

cabin

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

'like a shed' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'is able to accommodate some bikes' is the wordplay.
'is able to' becomes 'can' (if you can do something you are able to do it).
'accommodate' is an insertion indicator.
'some' says to take the centre.
'bikes' becomes 'safety bicycles' (safety bicycle is a kind of bike).
The central letters of 'safetybicycles' are 'bi'.
'can' going around 'bi' is 'CABIN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cabin that I've seen before include "class at sea?" , "Lodge or hut" , "Shipboard room" , "Uncle Tom's little house" , "Building" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
