Post-and-ring bicycle parking vulnerability

BikingBis posted last week about a recently disclosed vulnerability in post-and-ring bike stands are are common in Toronto, Ontario. Apparently, you can use a 2x4 to pry the ring apart and take the bike. Toronto is now investigating ways to modify the 16,000 post-and-ring bicycling parking facilities to protect them from this kind of attack.
