You are being facetious, of course, but seriously, though, 'riding like I belong' means that I am assertive and decisive in my actions as well as make my intentions known, or at the very least, obvious, to motorists. It means taking the lane when it becomes necessary to do so. Obviously we are all taking a leap of faith in that we trust that perfect strangers, some of whom may be very poor drivers or are distracted, moving past us at a much faster pace aren't going to plow into us.
