You can keep pedaling fast when diving, you just have to let go of the A button (right trigger on Bike) to stop flapping your wings.
It was this way for the first couple of years on the original game too, but near its end we allowed diving while flapping to make it work better with buttons on the LifeCycle. The downside was that a lot of people reported they couldn't take off or climb fast enough, because they were unknowingly leaning forward while riding regulary. So we decided to change it back for VZfit and never got that complaint again.
