You mean lean into the inside of the curve?
On a bicycle there are situations where you'd want to do that, yes, for instance if the roads are wet and you're taking a 90-degree corner at speed (or trying to anyway) you might want to do that to keep as much contact patch as possible in contact with the road so you don't have the bike slide out from under you in the wet. But usually you wouldn't do that on a bicycle at all, you'd actually do what seems totally counterintuitive: outside pedal down with your weight on it, push down on the inside handlebar, and keep your body more or less upright while making the bike lean *more*. Why? How? Take a look at your tires: the tread has a curved profile, not flat; they're designed to keep traction in a curve with the bike leaning. Also when you corner that way you're keeping the center of gravity towards the outside of the curve, which means that even if the tires slip a little at the apex of the turn, it's not going to slide out from under you, you and the bike will both just slide a little towards the outside of the curve. This is how criterium racers are able to take those 90-degree corners so fast: between the 'out-in-out' strategy and handling the bike like this, you don't even really need to slow down at all.
Hope that explains it enough.
