You should all read this: ring and post lockups are vunlerable. Don't lock your bike to one.

I read that in the Star today (front page too). If this is making people think that the parking sign posts might be more secure (you know the four sided poles with the holes up and down each side), think again. Check that they're secure to the ground. They can often be lifted out of the holder that's imbeded in the concrete. Some have simply a bolt and nut holding them in place that can be easily removed, or else already has been.
