Vessels put in pedal bins? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liners

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

'vessels' is the definition.
(liner is a kind of vessel)

'in pedal bins?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'put' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for liners that I've seen before include "craft?" , "cruise ships" , "These go inside" , "Large ocean-going ships" , "Large commercial ships" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
