Discussion

Claudia Sorcini Dec 30, 2020:
For Isabelle Johnson: sorry, I have expressed my idea in a wrong way, I meant that on the dirt road the technique seems different from the one on normal road, cause the reaction of the ground is different.
James (Jim) Davis Dec 30, 2020:
Against the laws of physics "...sempre senza sterzata ma con un certo grado di rollio, ovvero bici in piega con sterzo dritto." If you lean a bike, say to the left, while moving, with the handle bars straight then the bike will fall over, unless you lean your body to the right to counterbalance the weight of the bike on the left. Incidentally it is impossible to corner on a bike without turning the handle bars. When moving at any speed at all the handle bars seem to be straight because the angle of turn is so slight, but obviously it is impossible for a bike to corner if the front and back wheels are perfectly in line.

bending/leaning of bycicle/cyclist

So to counteract this and keep you from falling over, leaning into the turn is necessary. But is there also a direct causal relationship -- that leaning will cause the bike to start to turn? If I start leaning left, I will turn left... but maybe that's because I know that if I don't turn the steering wheel left, the bike will fall over (to the left).

Lean and Line
Cornering technique can be broken down into two distinct aspects:
Lean is just you and the bike – you can practise lean on an empty sheet of tarmac.
Line is the route that you follow on the road.

agree Wendy Streitparth : Leaning, yes. "When leaning into a bend, just turn your head to face where you intend to go and lean with the bike" https://www.silverwing600.com/t6665-cornering-with-confidenc...

yes, maybe leaning is better, though bending seems very common too
neutral Lara Barnett : "Bending" sounds a bit odd , as the bend is in the road, not in the bike, surely?
6 hrs
Well, it seems pretty common,both for bike and for cyclist http://www.brainkart.com/article/Bending-of-Cyclist-in-Curve...
agree James (Jim) Davis : With leaning. I only bent my bike once about 20 minutes before the ambulance arrived. Nothing serious than heavens.

No, I don't agree at all. Cornering comes up in any type of cycling and motorbike context.
agree Rachel Fell : Cornering and leaning is what it's called on motor bikes and bicycles in English. "When a motorcycle cornering leans to one side", as GT puts it. I wouldn't try bending ;-)
5 hrs
Well quite! Couldn't have put it better myself. Happy New Year Rachel!
agree Lara Barnett : On researching both terms, I would still go with this one due to the use of "piega", which is better represented by the English word "corner", than by "lean".

Yes, its a technical term. Happy New Year Lara
