That only causes part of the effect, most of it is the bike’s steering countering the momentum of your fall.
You wouldn’t be able to balance on a bike with just the wheel spinning, you’re too heavy. That is why bikes on those indoor rollers allow the bike to move left and right a bit.
That’s always fun. Some people will swear it can’t possibly work like that, but they have plenty of experience riding bikes. You wouldn’t be able to turn properly at speed unless you’re counter-steering, so they clearly have done this. The idea seems to be so incredibly intuitive that people don’t even realize they’re doing it, which is very interesting.

Just wait till OP learns that you need to counter-steer bikes to balance
