I need help solving this problem:1, What is the minimum radius that a cyclist can ride around without slipping at 10 kilometers per hour if the coefficient of friction between his tires and the road is 0.5?

I need help solving this problem:1, What is the minimum radius that a cyclist can ride around without slipping at 10 kilometers per second if the coefficient of friction between his tires and the road is 0.5?

The cyclist is going at 10000km per hour not second please. I tried solving it with mv^2/r =0.5mg but is not getting the answer. I am wondering if their answer is wrong. Well, their answer is 4.1m. I am getting r= v^2/.5g. V^2=10000m/3600s=2.77m/s^2=7.67/.5g =1.5m. I don't know how else to solve this question to get their 4.1m answer.
