front steering, 4 wheel vehicles need toe-in to be self-centring.
If you don't understand what this means, then throw your car in reverse and turn the steering slightly. You'll end up going in circles as the steering does not self-center.

front steering, 2 wheel vehicles self-center automatically, because your front wheel turns into the lean. IMO, the gyroscopic effects are very minute on bicycles.
