You are able to, however, you may want to consider these factors before you accept any job:

- You will need to have a method of transportation such as a bike, and you need to be able to carry all the newspapers on this vehicle

That just depends where you are, my route was walkable with a bag and in fact getting on and off a bike every 2 mins would have been really annoying, I've seen places that drop you off at your run start and collect you at the end as well.
