How do you explain to someone who doesn't cycle that:

1. You have a right to the road too.
2. You can't ride 30 MPH on the white line, especially when the road has no shoulder.
3. I was going plenty fast to have the lane.

In Virginia we must ride as far to the right of the roadway (not shoulder) as praticable and we can't ride two-up with cars behind us. Cars are required to pass us safely. Basically, the only right we have to the road is to a safe little strip of it, even if we're doing the speed limit.
