However, saying one is incorrect is absolutely wrong.
For really slow riding - lean the bike, stay upright.
Faster riding:
Offroad - sometimes you stay up straight, leaning just the bike, sometimes lean with the bike.
Pavement - lean with the bike.
Never hang off inside the turn, motorcycle style. Just lean as much as the bike is leaned, in a straight line with the bike. Make sure your elbows are bent, relaxed, make sure you're putting some weight on the front wheel and put the outer pedal down, weighing it.
