Answer:
The rotating wheels of a bicycle possess angular momentum. In the absence of an external torque, neither the magnitude nor the direction of angular momentum can change. ... So, the bicycle does not get tilted.
Explanation:
Actually it is easier to balance a bicycle at rest then when it is in motion. The reason for this is the conservation of the angular momentum. A bicycle has wheels that once in motion, they rotate. Each rotating wheel is generating a non zero angular momentum.
If a person has done the experiment of holding a wheel in hands, one will remember how easy it is to change the direction of the...
