Balkans tour by a newby
Hello everyone! I’m here to interrogate your vast collective knowledge! 
I’ve booked flights and bike hire in Bucharest for 17 days around the Balkans.
Many of my questions are likely to be on the stupid side so I beg forgiveness before I start
I expect I will have a ton of questions but I’m going to start with my draft itinerary and questions
Day 1 Bucharest to pick up the bikes
Does anyone know an hotel near the old city with safe parking for the bikes?
Day 2 is Bucharest to Brasov today I’d like to ride the cheia pass
Day 3 is Brasov to Sibiu via the transfagarasan. On maps it looks like there’s a tarmac road, DN7C is the entire road tarmac? Anyone got any hints or tips? Is Sibiu a good place to stay?
Day 4 Sibiu to Drobeta-Turnu
I hope it’s ok to ask, we’ve never done a self guide tour, he’s 70 and I’m 60 it’s a big adventure! Thanks in advance for any help
