I have seen only one vague remark of his about this. I don't have the bookmark here with me now, but it does not give any explanation either, it just says that the claim that bicycles are kept upright by gyro forces is as false and oft-repeated as the one that the hub hangs from the top spokes.
Interesting that it is not mentioned in his book. I'll see if I can get a response on the alt-bic-tech forum.
