panniers

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

'useful items for cyclist' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'earn spin around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'earn'+'spin'='earnspin'
'earnspin' anagrammed gives 'PANNIERS'.

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for panniers that I've seen before include "Bags or baskets hung across beast of burden or bicycle" , "They're hung across a beast of burden or bicycle" , "A pair of saddle-bags" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
