When I first started riding fixed, I scraped my pedal a couple of times while cornering. Twice I fell off. I was used to leaning over as far as possible. Nowadays I corner as fast as I used to, without leaning over as much - I just take the corners wider. I think once you have scraped your pedal a few times (if at all) you instinctively learn to corner without leaning so much.
I hear about people instinctively trying to coast and then almost getting thrown off the bike, but I I never had that problem. However, when I get on a freewheeling bike, I get a weird reflex when I coast - my muscles uncontrollably kick back on the pedals slightly, as if they're expecting the cranks to keep turning.
