Paper route. I went through a couple rear axles on my bicycle because the papers were so heavy. At one point it just snapped right in the middle. I guess I'm dating myself now, you kids don't remember what an actual newspaper looks like.

My son does a paper round on his bike. :) The tradition is very much alive.

The weight of his papers is quite staggering. I sometimes think it weighs more than he does. :)

Using a bicycle? When I was a lad we had to carry them by hand, up-hill, down-hill, come rain or shine.

I'd have loved to have had a bicycle on my round(s). (Sunday mornings were the killer day, here in the UK the Sunday editions of newpapers are 2-5x the size of normal editions.)
