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

'be carried' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for ride that I've seen before include "Travel in or be carried on" , "Go by horse" , "What suckers are taken for" , "spin > lift > pedal" , "Fairground entertainment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
