Put a stop to glitch so bike keeps up (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kibosh

'put a stop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'glitch so bike keeps up' is the wordplay.
'keeps' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'up' is a reversal indicator (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'hsobik' is hidden in the letters of 'glitch so bike'.
'hsobik' backwards is 'KIBOSH'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for kibosh that I've seen before include "Rubbish - nonsense" , "Put the mockers on" , "Finish off" , "Make impossible to happen" , "Fatal to put this on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
