The article doesn't mention the limit applies only to e-bikes, I would assume it's for everyone

Edit: or, if you meant that as an example of a sensible limit, yes that's a sensible limit already

A colleague of mine sometimes does 60 on downhill parts of a road on a road bike without electricity. They are still alive and well, but sometimes natural limits are not enough ๐Ÿ˜…

My average speed is somewhere around 12km/h sure, but that's because half of the time I spend on traffic lights, limiting top speed to 20 would just make average closer to 10km/h

Also, I don't think limit lower than 25km/h makes much sense, but that's personal opinion that is not backed by statistics. And yeah, I drive a muscle powered bike, not an e-bike, maybe I would've thought differently in that case

That's pretty much definition of textbook capitalism: they benefit from doing something that benefits others too.

Too bad this is a rare case in the real world capitalism

Something something rainbow, definitely

What they mean is that all three are different kinds of averaging. This is correct, but I don't think people in general think 'median' when they hear 'average'

What country was that?

I am amazed at how this is mostly not mentioned in more upvoter comments. If kei trucks were not outlawed in the US ~~for having the driver see the road too well~~ this wouldn't exist, most likely

In Spain your employer pays, and you also pay some at the end of year. And for more complicated cases Spain publishes short instructions on how to pay taxes as an individual, just about 900 pages

I heard, Spain tax system is considered the most complicated in the world because of all the legacy stuff

Read it last August, I expected it to be boring and pretentious, it turned out to be very interesting read even on the level I read it, which is without noting down every detail, tying everything together, and solving like a murder mystery squared (at best)
