Because the movement of the bike is predictable: it will go forward.

When static, you have to predict the direction as well .

This is why people fall off skateboards when learning. They stand and don’t move, then they can’t anticipate the direction skateboard is going and face plant, even though they were travelling at 0 miles an hour.
