I have terrible balance, and whenever I ride my bike with friends, I always wobble back and forth. I almost fell into a resevoir near my house because I couldn't keep my balance too well. How can I improve my balance, because it's not only hazardous, because it's embarrassing? Thank you
 
Bike riding is an acquired skill; it's not something you just get up and do, you have to ride a lot to get the hang of it, if you can't balance you can get a three wheel bike so you won't need to balance it.
 
Peddle faster and get your speed up, the faster you go the more stable you become. This is due to the gyroscopic effect of the tires spinning. Hence why bikers going really fast have to lean the bike in order to turn.
