It's strange, I just lost a friend to an accident at work, and was not really feeling to great trying to sort it all out, but somehow, not really sure how having watched it again, this made me feel a little bit better.

I seem to remember it being the centrifugal force of the wheels giving my bike the gyroscopic effect, but that was many, many years ago and that sounds pretty damn good, and I have yet to master the google magic, so thank you.


Dang, that google business isn't overrated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_dynamics

The bike actually would right itself, how much track width needed for that speed I do not know, but centrifugal force of the wheels keeps the bike upright, you upset the balance by counter-steering and shifting weight. I know because I had first hand experience with a high-speed get off.
