I would suggest to get a "Gorillapod" from "Joby" to use as a grip or quickly mount the camera somewhere for a short duration.

I totally understand what you are afraid off, yet in my opinion it's the shot that counts, not how you looked while you were taking said shot.
Even with non body mounted cameras (like my camcorder or DSLR) I sometimes stand in a weird way to achieve a shot and at these moments, I simply ignore what other people will think. Mosty because I won't ever see them in my life again.
> I was thinking of a shoulder mount but was thinking all the vibration from my body walking would overwhelm the camera.
While you are right, that the shoulder is WAY less stable than your head, if you focus on doing "less impactful" steps, you can definelty achieve a usable video with such a mount.
You don't have to go full "ninja steps", just don't stomp like a rhino ;)
I also thought it might be a nice view to have the camera mounted to your chest (you can use a cheapo chest mount from Luxbell (or other manufacturers for that, doesn't have to be the original one) and pointing downwards (to the ground), you can get a good "filler" shot, which you can put inbetween other shots.
It's hard to say, but you will probably be okay with a chest mount. I had in mind bikes where you're in a tucked riding position. The chest mount also has the advantage of being the most stable and giving the least vibrations.
Just get one of [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Luxebell-Accessories-Session-Harness-Handheld/dp/B00PA2VXTU/ref=sr_1_25?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1453715964&sr=1-25&keywords=gopro+accessories), I have a similar one and they're of good quality.
EDIT: Make sure you get one that will also give you enough parts to make a chin mount if you end up going that route.
