Wearing it for riding, one may be kicked (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

habit

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

'be kicked' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'wearing it for riding one' is the wordplay.
'wearing' is an insertion indicator.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'riding' becomes 'hb' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'one' becomes 'a' (a thing is one thing).
'it' put after 'hb' is 'hbit'.
'hbit' placed around 'a' is 'HABIT'.

'may' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for habit that I've seen before include "Regular practice" , "Custom or established practice" , "Addiction to a drug" , "Riding garment" , "Settled practice" .)
