| | | suppose you are taking a photo from a turning rim. sign a point of rim. when a tilting force is applied the axis of the rim at that time, the point which is turning forward, wants move down. This motion causes to apply another force to axis of the rim perpendicular the tilting force fom that point when turnes quarter of its path.
The reason of stability of a bicycle which its handlebar is restrained by one is moving is that its spining tires act like a gimbaled gyroscope .
