I believe the answer is:

bicycles

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

'wheels' is the definition.
('bicycle' can be a synonym of 'wheel')

'contracted rubbish collector goes round travelling on two' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'round' could be 'cycle' (synonyms) and 'cycle' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'bis' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bicycles that I've seen before include "Two-wheeled vehicles" , "Wheeled vehicles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
