Perhaps ride a lot, being well-made (8)
I believe the answer is:
tailored
'well-made' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'perhaps ride a lot' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ride'+'a'+'lot'='ridealot'
'ridealot' with letters rearranged gives 'TAILORED'.
'being' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tailored that I've seen before include "Fitted to requirements" , "Made to measure for idolater" , "Adjusted" , "Fitted, well-cut" , "made-to-order" .)
