Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

one of the guys I ride with had something like that several years ago. I can not tell you the details cuz they are not mine to tell and I'd probably get it wrong anyway, but I can tell you he has serious balance issues but can still ride a bike, and does, quite a bit.
As I understand it, you don't actually balance a bike; you keep it upright by steering. Unless you're riding no hands, balance isn't really involved.

One way or another, I wish you a speedy recovery.
