It looks like this p&r attaches to the ground in a different way. The normal post and ring is in a concrete foundation. Does this one go deeper into the ground? Does anyone know which one is more reliable?
I like that this one doesn't have the sharp edges that can scratch the frame.

There are plenty of those in The Kingsway (Bloor West, between Humber and Islington, Etobicoke) and I'm sure I've seen them around other parts of TO.
They look a heck of alot better than the other P&R racks too. I wonder if the local BIAs were invovled in getting those for aesthetic reasons?

Presumably this one could be sunk into the concrete as the Toronto ones are.
Sometimes I think the city gets too hung up on the 'traditional' design of the current post and ring model.
these ones look nice
Has anyone tried a 2x4 on one yet?
The city probably has a warehouse full of traditional P&R's hence the reluctance to change it...
Many in Hamilton are sunk in the ground in concrete.
Once the powder coat wears off they look pretty beat up and rusty but they do seem to do the trick. Certainly never seen one snapped in half.
