Hardly. When making a long distance move for a job opportunity by motor vehicle, the costs of temporary lodging during the trip from the old to new location are deductable. I seriously doubt that the motel bill for a person traveling across the country with his possessions on a bike would be anywhere within range of being considered "normal" or reasonable by an IRS auditor.
