It sure is the angular momentum of the wheel, the shape of the forks is the same whether the bike is at rest or moving. The angular momentum does not prevent you from turning, it puts torque on you when you turn, but it also keeps you up.

Cause gravity pulls it down when not in motion. Its the same thing if you were to push the bicycle without you on the bicycle eventually gravity takes over. It does not have enough strength to keep it from falling. Not enough weight.

Here is a clue - IT HAS NOTHING IN THE SLIGHTEST TO DO WITH GYROSCOPES.
If it did, you would not be able to turn a corner. But this myth persists here FOREVER.
Clue 2 - it has to do with the shape of the forks.
Clue 3 - look up my previous answers.

Combination of the wheels acting as gyros and your influence on the balance while riding.
