There might be a reason they made that video in an open field vs down a sidewalk.
Point is balancing a bike is something a drunk person can do. You're assuming something that just isn't true when you claim otherwise.

Small children can keep a bike upright for quite some distance. Drunk people do it all the time. It's adorable that you think it requires so much coordination that any significant level of intoxication will prevent someone from riding a motorized bike, but there's literally no reason to believe that the ability to balance will be impaired before someone's ability to steer and/or their judgment. Point is a person can operate a two wheeled vehicle badly for quite some distance, not that there aren't a bunch of riderless bikes, which you posed as a straw man. I was just showing your incompetence at creating a straw man since you chose the phrase "self-balancing."
