When an object spins its wheels, it creates angular momentum. This is because the spinning motion generates a rotational force that causes the object to keep spinning. So, spinning the wheels is a way to introduce and demonstrate the concept of angular momentum.
A force is not required to keep an object in motion, according to Newton's First Law of Motion. An object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force that causes a change in its motion.
Inertia is the quality that makes objects tend to keep moving. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, whether that motion is at rest or in motion.
When you first start the cycle, you do work to add kinetic energy to it, which moves if forward, but you are also adding rotational energy to the wheels. Once you are at the desired speed, you only need to overcome frictional forces from air and friction losses in the gears and bearings of the bicycle. If you stop pedaling, the rotational energy of the wheels can help keep it going, for a little while. If you suspend a wheel, and get it spinning, it can spin for a while without any additional input. It takes energy to stop it (some comes from the friction in the bearings to gradually slow it down, and some from the air).
Clocks typically use oscillatory motion, where a pendulum or balance wheel swings back and forth to regulate the movement of the clock's gears. This motion helps keep the timekeeping mechanism running accurately.
They could never start moving - their wheels would keep spinning while the vehicle remained stationary.

Gyroscopic action is the characteristic trait of a spinning disc to resist certain changes in motion. As the wheels rotate they will begin to stabilize the bike and do their bit to keep the bike from toppling over.
The wheels have flanges on the inside edges, they keep the wheels on the rail. The wheels would not stay on the tracks without the flanges.
Forward motion makes it easier to balance on a bicycle due to the principles of angular momentum and gyroscopic stability. As the bike moves forward, the wheels spin, creating a stabilizing gyroscopic effect that helps keep the bike upright. Additionally, when you lean to one side while in motion, you can steer into the lean, which shifts the center of gravity back over the wheels, aiding in balance. This dynamic interaction between motion and balance is what allows cyclists to maintain stability while riding.
