I have done this in the past and invited the folks to spend the night at our house. They usually accept and they get a nice, quiet yard in a pleasant neighborhood to pitch a tent in, a home-cooked meal and a hot shower. The neatest couple we've had was a pair of newlyweds on a 1-year honeymoon world bike tour; he was Swiss and she was Romanian if memory serves me correct (it's been a few years) and they were on the coolest tandem I've ever seen. The kids were so impressed with the bike that shortly after that, we bought one and now have a tandem with a kid-back adapter that pulls a Trail-A-Bike that pulls a trailer. The kids are 5, 7 and 9 and all of us get into the action and it was all ispired by those visitors.
