The apparatus includes a frame having a pair of lower horizontal members between which the person may stand and a vertical member extending upwardly for disposition behind the persons back. The apparatus also includes a forward pair of ground engaging wheels, each one of which is attached to a forward wheel mount which extends downwardly from a forward end of one of the lower horizontal members. The wheel mounts allow the wheels to pivot about a vertical axis. At least one rear ground engaging wheel is also attached to a rear wheel mount at the rear of the frame. A steering assembly is mounted on the frame and connected to forward wheel mounts. The steering assembly is manipulatable by the person's hands for pivoting of the forward pair of wheels about vertical axes to steer the apparatus in a desired direction.
