I wouldn't give you twenty cents to fund your vacation. You want to pay for part of my Cycle Oregon trip in September? The registration fee and bus tickets to the start was over $1000. Then there is airfare. Hotel before and after the tour. Bike shipping. Etc.
Cyclists who beg in towns and/or want things for free to save money give other cyclists a bad name. How do I know? Because I have discussed the matter with locals. We don't need any more negative sentiment to deal with when we are out on the road.
