Speed = Stability

Anyone who feels like they're about to fall over out there, are probably going too slow. The rotation of the wheels gives the bike stability, and the faster they can spin, the farther you can lean over without falling...until you start scraping parts. Then things can get ugly if you panic so be prepared and don't let it scare ya.

Funny. I tell you to educate yourselves and then hyperlink frikkin' wikipedia! LOL Just a bit ironic.... you'll get the point.

Isn't it more a conservation of angular momentum thing, ala a gyroscope. And some think centrifugal force is just a theoretical force, when in fact it's centripital force taking place.
