Of course you always have to balance yourself when you are on a bike. That's easy when you are pedaling but harder when you are stopped. When you are pedaling, the wheels are spinning. That makes your bike a gyroscope. A wheel spinning in an upright position tends to keep that position. That same idea also works for other things. You may have noticed that a spinning top falls over when it stops spinning.
