The Sheffield/staple/inverted-U design is great, but I think you undersell the Toronto ring and post. Having just one point of contact with the ground instead of two, they're cheaper to install and require less concrete for the footings (and therefore less upfront carbon), while maintaining two points of contact to lock to. I think they're a lovely, clever little design.

and I know David Dennis who designed it, I agree that it is great. After I saw this I went to a meeting downtown and locked to a ring and have to note that you are right, it gives you two points of contact, and my bike was still there after lunch.
