Apr 1 at 21:05 comment added KDP As explained in my other answer, a bike does not have to lean at all to negotiate a bend, if the rider is allowed to move his weight to the inside relative to the frame of the bike. That is why that question is different.
Apr 1 at 21:03 comment added KDP Voting to reopen, because this is not a duplicate of physics.stackexchange.com/questions/419353/… (which I answered myself. That question is about why choosing to lean a bike to a particular angle can decrease the radius of the turn, by altering the weight location of the rider relative to the bike, which is a much more sophisticated question. This question asks why does the bike have to lean at all, when the rider mass is confined to be inline with the bike and why is there a unique solution for the lean of the bike rider combination.
