The front wheel is very good at stabilizing the rest of the bike, but it only works if the bike is moving. A well-designed bike will right itself as it moves, since the forward wheel transforms any tilt into a curve, straightening out the bike. With a driver on top who can correct these curves and keep it in movement, it can remain standing for a very long time.
