bent wheel or you have a U joint failing I'd suspect. its likely your issue is caused by several individual ones.

possibly a failing wheel bearing even.

Not the thread I was expecting

My first thought was a stuck caliper, but there is no additional reaction upon application of the brakes.

Ideas?

My thoughts exactly! Could it be bad alignment? Did you hit anything?

It may be this but I would have thought the shop that did the balance/alignment would have caught it. They may have fucked up the balance or alignment as well. I would bring it back, especially if it wasn't doing this before you brought it there.

I think it pulling to the left might have a problem with your arms being worked out from the bike....

My bike has developed a new handling peculiarity over the past two months or so. The sensation is similar to riding on tires with low air pressure. Obviously, my tires are not low, and I've experimented with a few different pressures to see if it made any difference (it didn't).

Aggressive riding is out of the question. It's very unnerving and has me waiting for the front, rear, or both to step out on me at any time.

Also, the bike falls into left turns and resists right turns.

Ideas?
