Why is it Easier to Ride a Bicycle Round a Bend?

Question

Explain why it is easier to ride a bicycle round a bend on a road if the surface is dry than when it is wet

Answer

When the surface is dry, the frictional force between the tyres and the surface is higher than when wet, hence there is less skidding.
