Lifts needles? (5)
I believe the answer is:
rides
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'lifts' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'needles?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
(Other definitions for rides that I've seen before include "Journeys by horse or bicycle" , "Trips" , "Travels on something" , "Travels on horse or bicycle" , "Goes on a horse" .)
