I've watched the pro's seem to lean their bicycles left and right as they stand up to break away or start a climb. I can even remember reading somewhere... like tossing the bike left and right was the proper way to ride while accelerating.
I've found that I prefer keeping the bike stable. Am I doing something wrong by not rocking or moving the bicycle? Is this a style issue or is there a power issue involved as well?
Yes it is an issue and yes there is power involved. They don't just do it to look cool.

So... I would take it that pulling the bike against the pedal stroke should add some... significant power. Thx.

I don't think it's a requirement for entry into the to Ministry of Funny Faces...
