@MarkMooch perfectly normal just the wheel being a little out of true. Lots of videos on youtube about it but word of warning a few turns of the wrong spokes and you can easily make it worse, takes a bit of practice to true wheel well. Local bike shop £10-20 depending on how bad the wheel is and how friendly the bike shop is.
A quick video about it, look at the shots of the rim spinning it should look the same if out of true.

A longer video, it's a bit more wordy but could help, what you are saying sounds like the earlier section on lateral truing.
