Bicycle Physics

hello,
notice when you take a wheel of a bicycle and spin it really fast in your hands like a gyro and then suddenly bring the wheel upwards or downwards, the spin of the wheel either slows down (even stops) or spins faster during the acceleration of the wheel upwards or downwards. why is this? hope this makes sense.
