I believe the answer is:
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">was a passenger</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for rode that I've seen before include "Cycled" , "Was passenger" , "did some travelling" , "Went on horseback" , "Came by bike" .)
