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

'one who doesn't mind' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'being told to take a hike?' is the wordplay.
'being' becomes 'man' (human being).
'told' shows a homophone (sound like).
'to take a hike?' becomes 'bler' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'man' is a homophone of 'ram'.
'ram'+'bler'='RAMBLER'

Can you help me to learn more?
