I think of it like this: If you're going straight, and you push right, the front tire wants to go out from under you (and the CG) to the left and tip the bike to the right, hence the lean. And then as you lean, all that tire radius stuff comes into play, plus your bars tend to flop back to the right once leaned, and you turn. That's the official explaination from an engineer
