First cycle in Bulgaria

I cannot find any of the outlets that hires bikes for a week as advertised before I got here but there is bikes for rent on nearly every corner but the quality of these are not good but would over come the issue of if hire for week where would I put bike but in reality what do I need? Basically a mountain bike would do the job.

Out for lunch today I finally find a street renter who has bikes with at least decent saddle and for 12 leva for 3 hours working out at £4.50 this will do me so back to hotel to change into cycling kit and off I go.
Sunny beach is a busy holiday town with many side roads which I make my way through but quickly I come across what looks like the Main Street through sunny beach and surrounding resorts, it is busy but wide so actually good to cycle but I keep dreading getting to junctions when the panic sets in on rights of way.
I cycle for 2 hours but forget to take my phone for "runkeeper" cycle app but am happy with just cycling & scouting local area, it is warm but not uncomfortable and I don't feel any adverse effects from cclng in this heat so my planning turns to rest of holiday.

I so find a shop that looks like better quality bikes to rent but I get the " my English poor" or words like that so out goes that plan, the scenery as I get out of most build up area is beautiful so I think training this week could be good. 

Thanks for following my journey
