Hi Lewis & Kevin
We are all well thanks and enjoying some lovely Bulgarian sunshine and warmth...........
Yea, we are still here but set to fly over to NZ in a couple of weeks time. They have had heaps of snow in NZ and it looks like a good ski season coming on!.
Kevin, I haven't heard of or seen any bikes for hire in Boro.
One suggestion/option is to buy one 2/3 or 4? from Praktika in Sofia?
Then you have them on on a permanent basis Wink
Sorry I cant be of help in that department ...

Hi Kevin,

They do rent them out but we wouldn't recommend them as they're really not very good quality and pretty old.... Will message you with some other options.

Have a good day!
