Romeo on avenue cycles to Juliet's home (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

verona

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'juliet's home' is the definition.
(Romeo and Juliet is set in Verona)

'romeo on avenue cycles' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'romeo' could be 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'on' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for verona that I've seen before include "The Two Gentlemen of-(Shakespeare)" , "Juliet's hometown" , "City of Romeo and Juliet near Averno" , "City of NE Italy" , "Romeo's city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
