Jug was for more than one when cycling (4)
I believe the answer is:
ewer
'jug' is the definition.
(type of vessel)
'for more than one when cycling' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'one' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is found within the answer.
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'w' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'was' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ewer that I've seen before include "Large water jug" , "Open vessel with handle and spout" , "Big jug" , "Vessel for pouring" , "Oversized jug" .)
