Mystery #3Tier 3forces friction balance turning
Why does a cyclist tip inwards when turning a fast corner?
Watch a cyclist race round a sharp bend and they do not stay upright. They tip their whole body toward the inside of the corner, almost leaning over the road. Sit still on a bike and that would just tip you over. So why does leaning help them turn?
