A bicycle isn't some unknown mystery of the universe, the very article you linked lays it out pretty clearly. A bicycle's stability is a function of its mass distribution, geometry and the gyroscopic effect. Their exact relation depends on the bicycle and since there is no one standard SI unit of a bicycle in the Bureau international des poids et mesures, there is no apparent equation. The "nearly broke mathematics" in the title is just pure clickbait.
