Looking to simply take a stroke/line, and bend it up and down. Think like a jump rope, or something like that...
I'm sure there's a way to easily do this with included AE effects, right? I've messed with the bend effect applied to an image of a 2px line, but it seems to be a bit rough. Then again, may just be me...

you could make a curved path with the pen tool (or copy and paste a vector from an application like illustrator), then apply the stroke effect. stroke gives you control over color, thickness and hardness, along with start and end points.
