[Phys-l] Bicycle question

Hi,

a student asked me today if I could explain the physical
reason(s) to the following observation:

It is easier to stay on a bicycle when it is moving with
some velocity whereas it is quite hard to stay up when
the bicycle is just barely moving.

I thought about this for a while and said that it's
a good question! I promised to think about it.

Any insights?

Regards,

Antti
