Thanks to being on the mend, maybe, one could ride it (6)

I believe the answer is:

tandem

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

'one could ride it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'thanks to being on the mend maybe' is the wordplay.
'thanks' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you').
'to being on' indicates putting letters inside.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'mend' with letters rearranged gives 'ndem'.
'ta' placed into 'ndem' is 'TANDEM'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tandem that I've seen before include "Two-seater bike" , "Bicycle made for two" , "Two wheels for two" , "Two-person bike" , "Bicycle for two (plus)" .)
