Yes roadies have a thing about people silently drafting off them, not sure why.. if a wheel touches it's the one behind that's usually going down.
Once I was out riding alone, had someone jump on my wheel, and I didn't notice them right away. Before I knew they were there, I slowed for a stop light. He ran up on my rear wheel, bent the derailleur hanger and trashed a Record rear derailleur. We had slowed up enough that he just fell over and wasn't hurt. He continued on down the road and my ride was done. Yes I am sensitive about dorks drafting me when I don't know them.
