    Why does a bike wobble when it goes slow but not when it goes fast?

    The spinning wheels have angular momentum. It's a vector, so it tends to keep the same orientation as well as speed in the absence of an outside force. This means it's harder to make the wheels change their angle with the ground when they're spinning faster. They act like gyroscopes and keep the...
