A bicycle seat supported generally by a tubular V-shaped configuration with an offset seat post to allow for padded leg cradle supports, padded handles and adjusting handle grip bars. The bottom of the ergonomically designed offset walker frame has an adjustable rubber tip for height adjustment. The seat is on a fixed top post. The position can be adjusted up and down in height, forward and back and front to back. Using the handle grips the user can straddle the bicycle seat and rest the injured limb on the leg cradle supports without having to strap the injured limb to the walker frame. The walker frame has been ergonomically designed for balance. The tubular construction is comprised of a number of offsetting bends and spacers, which offset the leg cradle to the proper distance for comfort and balance. The padded handles are forward of the seat with rotating handle grip bars on the ends of the padded handles which gives the user more comfort and better control when using the walker frame making it possible to maintain better balance. The hands and wrists keep the frame in a vertical position and maintain control over the stabilization foot for better balance. The offset bends in the frame move the stabilization foot out of the way of the good leg and foot making for a less cumbersome and more comfortable natural stance. The stabilization foot is under the injured limb giving the injured user better balance, which improves comfort and makes for a simple easy to use walking device.
