If you could stay absolutely still, and input the same amount of force to the pedal, then more of that energy would go to moving forward, but it's physiologically it is very difficult. It's a matter of balance and leverage. Further, there is a mechanical advantage to be had in terms of body mechanics by swaying the bike and it lets the cyclist apply a bit more force than if the bike remained straight. The swaying motion from side to side will allow the cyclist to use more of [...]
