The thing is that the bike will NEVER fall if the centre of gravity of the bike+you system is vertically above the base of the bike.
In fact, this is even more complicated: This is because the bike has two different bases (the two tyres). So, it may be that the weight of the bike+you system falls outside the range of the bases, but still the bike doesn't fall. You can tackle this problem using the principle of moments.

Why you fall when you sit idle in a bike and not during riding a bike?
From knowing nothing about physics and lots about biking, i think that you don't fall when you're moving because riding is all about correction. You fall to one side, so you steer that way so that the wheels are underneath you again, this keeps happening and you keep correcting it. When you're stopped, you're not steering, and so not moving the bottom of the bike back underneath you

What force stops the motion of a bike?
friction by applying the brakes? When you apply the brakes, there are pads on either side of the metal part of the wheel, they squeeze together tighter and tighter until the wheel stops turning, which stops the motion of the bike.

Why paper will slowly fall but the coin will fall quickly?
Because the flat side of the paper is pushing all the air around it. It has nothing to do with their weights. If they were falling through a space with no air in it, a feather and a truck would fall together and hit bottom at the same time.

What is the difference between a high-side and low-side motorcycle accident?
Here's the summary from Timberwoof's Motorcycle FAQ: A high-side is where the bike suddenly regains traction after beginning to skid and spits the rider over the bike. The rider typically exits on the high side of the bike�the side not closest to the ground. A low-side is simply where the bike loses traction and skids into the ground with the rider remaining on the low side of the bike�the side closest to the ground. High-sides are usually more severe. The most common high-side accident scenario is where the rider loses traction at the rear wheel (due to excessive power or over-braking), the bike starts to skid, the rider regains traction suddenly by releasing the brake or chopping the power, and the bike immediately regains traction and spits the rider over the bike and tumbles. The key to avoiding this is learning not to chop the power and not to overuse the rear brake. Low sides mean you slide out on your bum or side. High sides literally throw you over the bike into the air, often with the bike landing on top of you. Try not to high side.
