Anon starts asking questions
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
Momentum + Gyroscopic effect
Steering keeps you upright in the same way a broom handle balanced on your hand is kept up by moving you hand around
Gyroscopic effects are negligable
There is a word for what you're describing, it's called "momentum".
More specifically, the force vectors for gravity and forward motion combine angles in a ratio of their magnitude and the bike becomes less likely to topple than go forward (in the assumption the horizontal force is the greater of the two values), or in other words as long as it has forward momentum.
