Ach Helen , please forget about the light fantastic toe (the text lies right next to me)(no misremembered quote). It's just a song that came up as I read the word 'tread'. No big deal.
I'm more interested in your cobble stones . Belgium was and is the last country to have them. And one spot in Rotterdam still has them next to the old trading houses at the dockside.
We used to call them "children's heads" Don't know why. Crazy name.
But yes, they are heavy blocks of stone and hard to go on.
Good to know you know them too.

AnnaStrophic , that is cool. I have no other word for it.
I will have peace with that word from now on.

And TEDRemington Cobblestones and bikes are really a tricky combination. Yet Belgium still has bike-racing parcours that includes some cobble roads.But apparantly you know about and biked in many more places
