whats the wire for?

It's a mechanical security device, if the rubber fails the wire stops the heavy weight falling directly onto the road.

If the weight escaped even at 30mph it would definately be scary, and potentially fatal.

the same idea is now used on F1 racing cars to retain the wheels with the chassis tub mainly to prevent the wheels from causing additional incidents with other racers.
