I have heard this illustration many time before. I don't disagree that to have good balnce in life you need to be moving forward steadily. But it's misapplied in WT land. We need to be moving forward with lifes goals such as education, career and relationships.
Not as WT land puts it to move forward with spiritual rituals such as prayer, meetings, FS, study. All these rituals stop us moving on with our lives and create an unbalanced lifestyle.

Just to explain what "trials" is on a bicycle, it is riding extremely difficult courses on a bicycle. You are supposed to navigate obstacles that require extremely careful (usually slow) riding. Each time you put your foot down, it is called a "dab". And, dabs are bad in trials, as the winner is whoever finishes with the fewest dabs (or, in the event of a tie, in the least amount of time). Anyone that does trials knows that a strong set of brakes is the most important equipment one can have--you don't move by applying the brakes. This allows the rider to stop in extremely difficult circumstances, and often they lock the brakes and navigate the obstacles by hopping them. Remember, if they dab, they get penalty points. Hence, balance is critical in trials.
Still think riding a bicycle at very slow speeds is impossible, washtowel?
