They are bicycle axels that act as quick release brakes on a bike. They have a faster reaction time than usual air brakes.

Bicycle skewers are very thin axles that are compatible with many bicycles. Typically, locking or quick release axles will be skewers. These skewers can often be bought as a separate part that is a sort of add-on or improvement on the factory axles that came on the bike, for cyclists who want to protect expensive wheels.

Skewers are the metal rods that pass through the hub of the bike wheel and allow the wheel to attach to the frame of the bike.
