What object is inserted into the wheels?
I think you've already guessed what expression we're talking about...
🠠"Inserting spokes in the wheels".
The expression means that someone deliberately slows down or prevents another person from achieving a result in their activity.
The phrase itself came from the peasants. Her main transportation was a wagon and horse. But the wagon had no brakes at that time. That's why I had to carry a big long stick with me.
— to brake sharply if something happens.
