You could try a recumbent. A friend of mine has had brain surgery, and
susequently walks around like he is drunk all the time. The recumbent is an
absolute godsend for him because it requires no balance.

They take a bit of getting used to in heavy traffic, and are expensive.

They do indeed, and a very fine animal it is. Greenspeed also make
one, or if they prefer an upwrong the Newton is a fine piece of
equipment. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] has a picture.
