Of course it is just a metaphor, with the ulterior motive to provoke a more relaxed attitude towards stability ;-)

But as far as I know it is not the spinning of the wheels that keeps a bicycle upright, but the steering motion keeping the CG over the contact area, aided by the geometry of the front fork. The gyroscopic effect of the wheels is negligible – far to little mass and far to slow rotation, and if noticeable it would probably hinder the steering and thus make the bike more difficult to keep upright.

The water surface is a major component in kayak stability, the road is not for the bike.
