Yes and that's not at all comparable to riding in your typical group ride.

A team of people working together in a controlled environment, and train to do so, is completely different than your typical group ride.

I've seen enough crashes caused by people riding aerobars in a group on club rides, centuries, and charity rides to know its a seriously bad idea.
