The test has been cancelled because of the number of cyclists that can't ride their bike past the dog that ate their homework.

It's also a clickbait. We understand pretty well the physics of how bikes balance.
For instance: How do bicycles balance themselves?
There's a better video out there somewhere that was done where they put a complete second set of tires that counter-rotated to offset the gyroscopic effect, and with a little practice, it was still rideable.
Just because some people can't do physics, doesn't mean 'physics' can't explain bikes.

Didn't watch the OP video or whatever my server blocked. I will agree that tubular tires are magic. Does that help?

Nope. Never used tubular so missed out on that magic. Tubeless seems as exciting as Sliming my tubes. But those Tannus airless look interesting. So far my kevlar touring tires anti-flat voodoo level magic at acceptable levels.
