Lurch

Hi,

1) Could you tell me what 'run a trace on something' means? I'm sorry that I've not provided any context but I couldn't find any.

2) When you're on a bike and you suddenly move towards one side (f.i.: because you're tired), is it possible to use the word 'lurch' or perhaps 'sway'?

For example: ''You have to be careful when you drive past cyclists. They can suddenly sway to the side/lurch and then you might hit them.''

Thank you!
