Not making much of a quiet bicycle ride? (4-9)
I believe the answer is:
soft-pedalling
'not making much of a' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'quiet bicycle ride?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'quiet' could be 'soft' (associated in meaning) and 'soft' is found within the answer.
'bicycle' could be 'pedal' (synonyms) and 'pedal' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ling' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
