90 degree turn ?

It means that you have to do the 90 degree turn with a radius smaller
than half a meter.

Thanks for your reply. But what I don't get is what difference does it
make if the turn is in a small circle?

It means you have to be riding north say when you enter the circle, and
end up riding east or west when you leave the circle.

It's because if you do a leaning turn, you don't turn instantly, you
turn in a smooth curve. The circle specifies how big a curve it can be.
So you have to turn quite tightly, rather than turn over a massive long
distance, which is much easier.

If you do an action-reaction turn (a twist your body turn), then you
can turn 90 degrees on the spot, but typically that's not how people
learn to turn, or a nice way to turn a unicycle generally.

I'm guessing that you don't have the same control for a sharp turn if
you need a radius of say 5 meter to turn. This shows that you have a
"reaction" turn rather than some extended leaning turn.
