Motorcycle or push bike does not lean while driving, in contrast to while standing, because of gyro effect.
When the wheel rotates, the mass on the top of the wheel should be moving LEFT if the bike falls to wards the left side. But this top mass of the rotating wheel can not move left direction because it is constrained to a rotation motion straight (wheel rotates around the axis).
Hence, the front mass of the wheel will be turning LEFT as the wheel rotates. When the wheel of the bike rotates LEFT, the bike's mass has an inertia to go straight.
Therefore, the bike would lean towards RIGHT direction due to the inertia. And that's why the bike does not want to fall either direction when its moving.
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
