Racking into secondary... bubbles!

I'm very new to the hobby, and this is my second brew. I purchased and brewed a canned malt wheat brew. When I pitched the yeast, the head rose nearly to the top, and then dropped after several days. After about a week, the airlock bubbled once a minute - so as per instructions, I racked it into the secondary. Instructions were very specific not to areate the wort. While the fermented wort was being transferred (being careful not to splash, etc... I noticed small air bubbles in the line. I thought I had pushed all the air out when I siphoned, so I cleared the line again. After several minutes I noticed more small bubbles - as if the agitation of the wort was causing a release of CO2. These small amount of bubbles were impossible to prevent. I am worried that the brew is screwed now. My secondary fermenter is not very active. Could someone tell me if this is normal? I also have the fermenter in my bathroom tub, where tempatures are pretty cool at night.... if that has any effect.

Exactly correct. No problem whatsoever, completely normal.

The low activity in the secondary is fine. Cooler temps will slow fermentation some too. Sounds completely normal, it is just mostly done.
