Answer
The answer is:
spare tyre or spare tire.
Taken for a ride, lost with many strides.
The spare tyre sits in the boot and goes wherever the car goes. Many strides, that is excessive walking, can make you lose your "spare tyre" – the ring of spare fat around your waist.
Pardon the old port, a typer's resort.
These two lines are wordplay: Spare (pardon) Tyre (this old Phoenician port); (a typer's re) "sorted" or rearranged gives spare tyre.
Fight unworldly wrath, sleep after a bath.
Two lines of worplay again: spar (fight) + et (extraterrestrial, as Mea Cupla had already found out) + ire (wrath); spa (a bath) + retire (go to sleep).
Big bang creation? Welcome inflation!
The spare tire comes into play when there was a "big bang" of one of the regular tires; keep it well inflated in case you need it.
And the title, of course, ...
... hints at the spare tyre's use: It's "another one for the road", in case one of the other four for the road is punctured.
