Yes, this does work. I just haven't figured the Physics ?   Maybe someone here could explain ?

I am no physicist but I can imagine that if the wheel was able to turn to right angles to the bike then it would be really easy to pick up, or even hard to keep upright.... (?)

as the forks are at an angle and forward of the head stock, the bike must want to tip to where the front wheel is pointing, if you point it the opposite side then it wants to tip that way.
