I don't have much experience with sandbaggers of the cycling kind (or golfing) but I would find it annoying if I did. I pretty much know that nearly all the people I ride with can go faster than me.... but I ride alone a lot of the time.
That is correct -- it's a very dangerous way to draft because it's very easy for your front wheel to touch the rear wheel of the other bike. Your front wheel gets turned to one side resulting in you instantly crashing.
