Vegetable oil doesn't sound good to me. You really need the appropriate grease on the bearings. If anything, I would imagine that vegetable oil will actually thin the existing grease and literally clean it off, leaving you with less lubrication. Not to mention the fact that vegetable oil is organic and will begin to simply decompose eventually. Stay off until you get it properly lubed or you will do serious damage to the bike.
