Doesn't that define to take the bike a bit out of straightness; out of perfection from driving in a straight line?
As "rock the handlebars" does. Shaking the steering does.
It's a valid technique that is even promoted by Grant Petersen of Rivendell Bikes, in his book "Just Ride".
It's not something you do non stop, like a drunk would. Just for a few seconds at precise moments to force a motorist to pay attention to the cyclist they don't want to hit. Not so much "wobble" but more of a moving around a bit in the lane.
