Exactly, I am so happy to see your post. You see, I wanted to say the same thing here and then I saw your post. Here I am in Spanish 2 Lesson 23-25 I came across this example and can not distinguish which is right. Please see the two example here below:
Queremos ir a un restaurante BUENO.
Queremos ir a una BUENA discoteca.
And it won't accept other than above. My question, is when to put the adjective after or before the name/noun? is not it after the noun? then why in my example "buena discoteca" comes before as well as your example "alquilaron una buena bicicleta".
I was guessing that there is a rule for this, but when I saw your question while you are in level 4, now I have doubt.
Hopefully, there will be someone who can answer us...

I hope you help you back un this. It is some how the feminine effect or rule as it does not apply to masculine.
For example, if you want to say,
Yo tengo una casa (I have one house). similarly, you may say
Yo tengo una casa (I have a house)
However in the other side (masc.)
Yo tengo uno Boli (i have one Pen.)
Yo tengo un Boli (I have a Pen.)
I hope you noticed the difference here, so no problem with feminine words but would effect the masculine words.
In my case it works.

The word order can be used in both ways, I think it is just to do with which has been inputted into the program, although in regards to "una botella buena de vino" that sounds incredibly strange to me. I think una botella de vino buena would be correct.
Queremos ir a un restaurante bueno
Queremos ir a un buen restaurante
These are the same and can be used either way, same for the discoteca.
I regards to the 2nd comment "you tengo uno boli" is just wrong, "yo tengo un boli", no matter how you wish to translate it, is the only way to say it, uno dos not precede nouns this way.
Hope this helps.
