Yes Phil! Sometimes I do it on the Embankment on my Brompton with the front bag. I look for a Ti rim-brake setup or a high-stack Trek with bongo wheels and suck their wheel until Somerset house and then come around and do a big ass turn to drop them before the Eye. Then, stopped at the Big Ben lights, I look chill breathing easy and as they roll up I say 'thanks for the tow earlier'. It can be hard to do the grand-depárt-handlebar-lean with the tall M type bars but I find a way to make it work. Sometimes we do a fist bump or do a knowing smiling into a freeze-frame. Then the credits roll.
Jurek I look forward to riding you off my wheel at a future date :)

You have to catch your breath before the lights so you look like it was nothing at all.
That? Oh yeah that was nothing. I have easily arrived here after doing 40kmh for the last 5 minutes having not broken a sweat. I'm in no rush whatsoever.

Sometimes I do the same from Blackfriars Bridge to Westminster on my sweet sweet fixeh
(TM this forum)Anyone with full kit. If they have all the gears sometimes they can leave me, but sometimes I stay on their wheel, and the pleasure is spinning just as it goes slightly uphill towards the Palace of Westminster. An incline of about 2% always finds them out.
I must deploy the same phrase, but quite often most are sporting headphones

Small wheels better for drafting, like the old Moulton track team?
