What you unconsciously do when turning, is to quickly turn it a bit in the other direction first in order to get the bicycle more to the other side of you, so you have a better balance point for the big turn. Not perfectly explained, sorry.

But try this: Try following a straight marker on the road on your bike. It's very hard. When you start going too much to the right, you will find it impossible to actually nudge the bike back to the left, unless you accept that you have to go further to the right first.

This also happens when driving close to a curb. It feels like it's sucking you in.
