I disagree. Even if fundraising is the sole purpose of the trip (and I would guess it rarely is), the fundraising expenses should be considered the bicycle tourist's own contribution. Nobody should profit in any way (not just material profit) from fundraising unless they were directly hired for that purpose by the charity itself.
