There's already been a couple threads about this. It's a combination of the bicycle steering naturally towards the direction it's falling, which keeps it upright longer, and humans being naturally good at balancing themselves.

that cracked article sucked, and the researchers, who did that study sucked even more

DO YOU SPEAK IT MOTHERFUCKER

so you're saying bikes naturally stay upright, and we're naturally intuitive towards it?

Humans are tool users, our brain naturally considers any 'tool' we use to be an extension of the body.

This includes things like bicycles, or cars. You have a natural affinity for using tools.

So yes. We are naturally intuitive towards it. A sense of balance helps, as well.

so what about a riderless bike?

Here OP, this should illustrate the basics of how a bicycle stays upright.
