Daughter interrupting sound of a bell -- it could come from a bike (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pedal

'it could come from a bike' is the definition.
(bikes have pedals)

'daughter interrupting sound of a bell' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'interrupting' indicates putting letters inside.
'sound of a bell' becomes 'peal'.
'd' placed within 'peal' is 'PEDAL'.

(Other definitions for pedal that I've seen before include "part of organ" , "Bicycle footrest" , "Brake or clutch perhaps" , "Plead for bike pusher" , "cause a revolution in cycling?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
