When we ride a bicycle then we can balance it but when we apply brakes then we need to put our legs down else we may fall, why?

Question

I got this idea while sitting and studying physics in school but not getting answer please try to answer it.

Answer 1

your ability to remain upright on a bike relies on forward motion, and steering. when your forward motion has nearly stopped, so ends your ability to remain upright and you have to put down your landing gear so you don't tip over.
