The braking portion extends generally circumferentially around a surface of a wheel. The guide portion is coupled to the braking portion. A first part of the guide portion extends from the braking portion proximate to a first end of the braking portion over a portion of the wheel. The braking material is coupled to the braking portion of the frame. The braking material provides frictional force opposing rotational movement of a wheel when a force is applied between the braking material and the wheel.
