This is only slightly silly. Most people have no grasp of what keeps their bike stable. ... And it's not the wheels.

Judging by the article, which is a little coy with it's info, it's not so much stable as dynamic. One simply stears oneself back to center, which I would have thought was an obvious fact to anyone who has observed the track a bicycle makes in lessor hands, where it appears to be two paths that cross regularly. A stable form would be more a trike, though I suppose it depends what kind of stability you have in mind.
I remember when rollers firtst came out, cyclist had difficulty using them because thentofore even experts did not particularly track in a straight line.
As far as falling over when too close to a curb is concerned, that can be corrected by dropping the outside bar without changing body or steering angle.
