A cyclist must lean into a turn to prevent tipping over in the other direction.The frictional force provides the centripetal force necessary to turn the cyclist to the left.But the frictional force also produces a clockwise torque that will cause the rider and the bicycle to tip clockwise to the right.The force is provided by the friction of the tires.
