What makes a bike stay upright when it is in motion? What is the relationship between speed and stability? Is it a linear relationship?

I could ask this on the physics site however I am hoping for a relatively simple answer. I took an introductory class in physics in University so basic physics is appreciated but nothing too gnarly.

I think that it is not the spinning mass of the wheel that is keeping the bike upright. I read a study recently stating that if you have a wheel with identical mass spinning backwards beside the bike the bike will not lose stability. (I am not sure where I read the study).

Why do bikes stay upright when on a roller?
