Paperboying - cyclist slang for zig-zagging up a steep climb, to make the gradient less steep, which is the same reason roads are cut into switchbacks up mountain passes. The zig-zag ascent by the cyclist is reminiscent of a paperboy delivering newspapers from one house to the next, crossing the street as he does so.
