I hated the folks who couldn't come up with the $1.25 per month charge. If I got a dime tip a month I felt I was really making money!
I wouldn't want to deliver papers in all weather conditions on a bike with no fenders and questionable wet weather brakes. I suspect it might be difficult to mount a sizeable front basket and carry a bag full of papers and avoid interference with brake and shifting cables of a typical mountain bike. The fat tires would be good though.
