Explain why a cyclist bends inward while going round a curved path. 

A cyclist bends inwards while going round a curved path to counterbalance centripetal force provided by friction between the tyres and the road such that skidding does not occurs.

The relationship between the lean angle (θ), the speed (v), and the radius of the curve (r) can be expressed as:

tan θ = v²/rg where g = acceleration due to gravity.
