The cyclist leans to one side while going along a curve. He leans to wards the curve or center of curvature of the curve. He avoids skidding and falling by bending. He does it in order to supply centripetal acceleration. It is necessary to make the cycle turn. If he does not bend, he will move only...

He does it in order to supply centripetal acceleration. It is necessary to make the cycle turn. If he does not bend, he will move only in a straight line and go away to outside of the curved road. The resultant force of the normal force from the road and the friction force supplies the centripetal force required to turn in a curve. read less

While going in a curved path the frictional force between the Tyre and the road cannot provide enough centripetal force along the curve..But if the cyclist lean along the curve he gets extra centripetal force.... The direction of leaning is along the centre of the curve..
