I've noticed mostly cruisers going so slow you can't even see the bike is leaned at all. :P

Probably mostly inexperienced kids leaning wrong on the sport bikes. It's natural to feel uneasy about leaning inside a corner because we're used to bicycles that at low speed will tip over.

My tires wear out the centers before anything else from street riding. I've wondered if I forced them to ride on the edges if they would wear more evenly and perhaps last longer.
