Possible, but more complex than most appreciate. Pushing a pedal down shifts the rider's center of gravity over that pedal, requiring the bike to lean in the opposite direction to maintain a straight line. This done by the rider counter-steering to command that angle. Watch in the video how the front wheel and lean angle alternates left-right in time with the pedal pushes. Once at speed, the gyroscopic forces of the front wheel mean the rider doesn't need as much lean angle, so the wobbles get less and less. Compare an accelerating motorcycle where the rider doesn't shift weight and therefore doesn't need to wobble the front tire.
