It's a mix of trail and the weight balance of the handlebars.... not all bikes are self-stable but most good handling bikes are.
@VelGoesBrrr Says:
Yeah that would not happen if the wheels weren't spinning... So it might not be the gyroscopic effect as you would think but it's still because the wheels are spinning.
@punnup3452 Says:
Actually it's a crap ton of small physics oddities that come together to make the bike stay up without a rider
Scientists have even tested bikes that strip away some of these features and the bikes were still able to stay stable

I have the same bike!
@JorgeGarcia-cl7of Says:
Mechanical grip is the real answer
@spencerm5913 Says:
Its because of the caster angle.
@Ronin-fr1wm Says:
Can a single-wheeled vehicle do this? I have a project like that what you guys think?
@ZoeyR86 Says:
Caster in the steering same for cars

What if there was a rider not holding the handle bars
@ez6314 Says:
How I bike with no hands, the secret is I balance the bike from the seat. Like a unicycle. I could even do wide turns on a bike without using the handle bars.

It's all FAKE! YOUR LIFE IS A LIE! You don't ride your bike, your bike rides you.
@turbochargerstututu Says:
The term you're looking for is "caster angle"
@armonfrohlich6348 Says:
You usually only hear such nonsense from flat earthers... If that were the case, the bike could also stand on a surface where friction is close to zero, for example, because then it is still designed that way. But it can't do that, as it only has two support points but a center of gravity that is far too high. So there are two points that work together and give the real reason for this. Namely, dynamic equilibrium! Due to the movement, other effects come into play, which together represent the dynamic equilibrium! Firstly, there is of course the gyro effect and secondly the centrifugal force! Anyone who claims otherwise simply has absolutely no idea about physics and even less about design and, above all, its limitations!
At around 21 km/h the bike can ride without a rider and still maintain its balance. The further the speed deviates from this by slowing down, the worse it works. Until finally gravity overcomes the dynamic equilibrium and the bike falls. 5th grade physics... or first year physics... depending on the country. Basic knowledge in any case.

I wasnt understand how i stable on a 2 wheel until I learned physic.
@Burito0000Elite Says:
Has to do with the caster angle of the front fork..
Distributes force in a way so
the steering bar centers itself
@Dick-Pump Says:
It’s both
@Driftjp Says:
Nope it's the balance and angle of the fork under which the wheel is mounted plus the motion forward that keeps it either going straight or fall over try it on an old steel bike it'll not work as the forks were not properly centered.
@gamerxvc3055 Says:
No they are not designed to steer. It steer themselves because of the gyroscopic force.
@Lichkai Says:

@devynlich00 Says:
Both motorcycles and bicycles do the exact same thing
@Qui-9 Says:
The steering column angle is responsible for this after a certain speed. It will do the opposite in reverse and tumble.
It's the "castor" angle of the wheel, which ironically, doesn't work like actual castor wheels at all, but visually resembles them.
@guib7852 Says:
You should try this with different bikes, a Brompton or a hand bike is a lot more unstable than most bikes!
@yuhHornerman Says:
None of this is true
@rexluminus9867 Says:
No, it wasn't cleverly designed!!!🎉😂😅
@Fayanora Says:
I have never in 41 years seen this happen in IRL, and I've tested it before. I call shenanigans.
@xanderortega4359 Says:
Gyroscopic effect
@ameiso Says:
handsfree riding always works
@npatel7775 Says:
What about the wheel that I rolled over from a hill??
@aderrick94 Says:
The real reason why the handlebar turns, to the side where the gravity is pulling the bycycle to, is the Precession induced by this pull by gravity.
Therefore, the reason IS gyroscopic effect. It is NOT clever design. The handlebars, by default have to be free.
Handlebars turn to one side because when the gravity pulls on the top of the front wheel, in the direction of the tilt, the force undergoes Precession by 90 degrees and causes the FRONT of the FRONT WHEEL to turn in the direction to which the whole wheel is tilted.
Therefore, the bycycle stays upright DUE TO GYROSCOPIC EFFECTS not because of clever design.
Respectfully, I do not agree with your reasoning at all.
@ImKamali Says:
Even leaning it won't fall. I've coasted no hands around 90° turns

@stevecarter8810 Says:
You didn't say caster angle. The answer is caster angle.
@wyattcrafty1649 Says:
It's actually not that they were designed to do that, it's just that it's a nifty trick they do as a side effect of the design.
@mikkelnyhuus9173 Says:
When it turns right, it initially leans that way but is forced to lean to the other due to centrifugal force, which it proceeds to switch between rapidly. If its speed isn’t sufficient, the bike will continue the turn and fall onto the side it is turning towards eventually.
@robertalan7876 Says:
No. Just no
@trevorizsakk Says:
It is from the wheels spinning and the free steeering lmao
@Pjrdjf Says:
What about motorcycles which are upright when doing a wheelie?
