I’ll have a computer on my bike.
It’ll say, “Be careful! Lorry on right!”
So I’ll ride it where I like!

I think the last sentence means this.

So I’ll ride it in the places which I like.

Am I right?

And I also want to know if the use of “where” in the original sentence is common.
 
I agree with your interpretation. In my dialect we'd be much more likely to say "wherever I like."
 
First of all, yes, you understand the meaning perfectly well.

Second, where I like is the correct phrase. We do not say in the places which I like.
