While most of the streets in Verona are paved with asphalt there are still a many streets, and piazzas, that are paved with various types of other materials. The most dangerous are these large blocks which have many seams, missing chunks, and are uneven; also very, very slippery in the rain: ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSQGQyqlhaYn3DE-kt6Rlt36VQuv45F5QqRiQESBhlKdS7Dz8gn-JlI8536gqcJwuVEfa9IyrtIACDk2JCMHfuYdcl3gzz-X8bzi8dJIK_g18BLKgvtZdnQHv6gZfH4gOjNwZtUu1-k1Dn/s320/IMG_7371_1.JPG)

These small cobbles are good to ride on but you have to be on the alert for ones that are missing, I think tourists take them as souvenirs. And in some spots the blocks meet the cobbles:![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmgJKbEHmWuNXHkEY7V9MbhKpMpdDZbZTkxRa7429fETlcxtz8PjD6eWFfLuaoGWmqCgkFk0_EFG_UdI0A2pVuen_u6RkEKfVYcQx-fcfhKeft8ueLKXf4f12oG0Vf5jshFe9bmacOk3vw/s320/IMG_7374_1.JPG)
There are a few places that have river rock and there is usually a strip to ride your bike. The strip can be a granite or marble. Riding on wet marble is like riding on ice.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOoHhuDHTs4HK9z8P1X_MSW0C6Gf4L0fbqlUnelNB9E-puaQsAMcZYh0UZdgFRgUodfepSNjpThdKOoxO-RvsaNzRDE4U2Xjj8h5WiczVvBqEIxfWQoGilqO6dOAZGsSjh30JhGHkQ5q1k/s320/IMG_7373_1.JPG)
I typically ride on each of these surfaces to get to the ride starts. I've had a few close calls.....
Be careful not to lose money here!
