Why do motorcycles (and bicycles) lean INTO a corner but cars lean OUTWARDS?

OK, this comes down to a lack of knowledge of basic physics, but if anyone can give a clear answer in layman's terms, I'd appreciate it!

Answers:
The rider on the cycle leans into the corner to counter the lateral force experienced when cornering, since a car can't lean into the corner you can see the effect of the lateral force moving the upper car body sideways.
Strawman is correct. You lean into the corner on a bike or motorcycle to counter against the centrifugal force. A car reacts to the centrifugal force exerted upon it.
You could try leaning out on a bike, however your centre of gravity would be off and you promptly fall off and possibly cause an accident or get hurt.
Because, if the bicycle leans outwards we would go flying or didn't lean at all. The bike actually tries to lean outwards thats why you have to lean inwards to avoid toppling over.

With a car it has 4 wheels it can lean outwards without toppling over, (to an extent before the car starts driving on two wheels or flipping).
