Along the way, these near-neophyte cyclists on their ten-speeds encountered warm-hearted strangers eager to share food and shelter, bicycle-hating drivers who ran them off the road, various wild animals (including an attack camel), rock-throwing Egyptians, overprotective Thai policeman, motherly New Zealanders, meteorological disasters, bodily indignities, and great personal joys. The stress of traveling together constantly tested yet strengthened the young couple&apos;s relationship and as their trip ends, you&apos;ll find yourself yearning for Barbara and Larry to jump back on their bikes and keep pedaling.<br><br> Originally published in 1983, <i>Miles from Nowhere</i> has provided inspiration for legions of modern travel-adventurers and writers.
