If you exert a force of 100 newtons , and your hands are 10cm (0.1m) from the pivot(the center of the handlebars, the formula is force(100)xPerpendicular distance (0.1) the force would be 10 newtons , but if you increased the distance your hands are from the center (e.g. to 50cm away) the force would be 50 newtons , So, the greater the distance from the center , the greater the turning force (moment).

How do you balance on a bicycle?

It is almost impossible to balance on a stationary bicycle, unless you have freakish talent! When rolling forward, however, if the bike starts leaning to the left, just steer slightly to the left and the bike will right itself. Same with the right. The more the lean, the more the steer. This moves the support points, the tire contact patches back under the center of gravity.

Why are the rear tire and front tire different sizes?

The front wheel has to be light enough to steer with whilst providing stability and the ability to carry the whole weight of the bike and riders under heavy braking. The rear tyre provides stability and takes the whole power of the engine. The profile and width put a similar footprint of rubber on the road whether the bike is heeled right over in a bend or upright.
