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.

: 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

: "Bending" sounds a bit odd , as the bend is in the road, not in the bike, surely?

No, I don't agree at all. Cornering comes up in any type of cycling and motorbike context.

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 ;-)

Well quite! Couldn't have put it better myself. Happy New Year Rachel!

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".
