[Newbie:] Quick release brakes - Specialized Sirus

[Dave]

Hi all

I have a Specialized Sirus and took the front wheel off to bring it in
the car. It came off easily, but the brakes don't allow the wheel to
go back on. I believe there's a quick release brake which would move
the brakes out of the way, but I can't work it out....

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks

Dave

That looks exactly like what I have on my bike. I should be able to
put the wheel on when I get home....
