I ride from time to time. Not very far, a mile or two. I feel it coming on during riding, not to the point I'm off balance. Know how you feel, it's not fun not being able to enjoy the things you once been able to do.

I actually do better on a bike than I do walking. Don't know why that is. I only ride around busy downtown, and relatively short distances.

Maybe its the added feedback of air moving on my skin. Or maybe it's more like driving. On a bike, I just basically follow the red and green, then go with the cars. Probably, though, its 'cause I don't look at the ground so much when I'm on the bike.

When walking, I can't stand up and simultaneously make sense of the crosswalk signals vs. the traffic lights -- "Green light for cars, sign says 'Walk,' but drivers might turn and run me over. So, I should wait ... or not?" All the scenarios combined with the physical oddness, puts my head on overload.

My Neurologist said she had the exact same problem when she had vertigo, and basically she had to rely on other people to go first, so she could follow. She advised that, when walking, you oughta try looking up more and focus on objects in the distance, as if they were little goals to reach.

Thanks for comparing your experiences, though.
