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

'wheel-turners' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'into' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pedals that I've seen before include "Levers on a piano" , "Foot-rests or drivers on a bicycle" , "Foot levers" , "Cycles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
