I really like the idea of an art project going along with a bicycle tour. I think that is great. But I really fail to see the difference in what you are doing as opposed to someone else that is doing a tour, and a journal that focuses on, say food. I guess the only difference that I see is that you want others to pay for your trip rather than paying for it yourself. Am I missing something? I do wish you all the best as I am sure there are lots of people out their that would like to help you pay for your vacation.
