An upright brake arm extends into and is pivotally mounted upon the brake housing and includes a brake bar projecting therefrom overlying and spaced from the wheels and normally biased to an inoperative position. A brake actuator boss upon the steering handle on downward pivoting thereof operatively engages the brake arm moving the brake bar into operative compressive frictional engagement with the wheels.
