The Podium of Honors : 41 Hall of Fame

Notices
Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The next step in the process needs your help!

Here are the rules:

1. Post your three favorites in order. (gold, silver, bronze)
2. If you post fewer than three, they will be awarded the higher placement.
3. Points will be awarded for each submission (Gold =3, Silver = 2, Bronze = 1)
4. Final points tally will result in the top ten points winners being put into a BF poll for the actual podium of honors.
5. The remaining of the ten will be noted for Honorable Mention in the Hall of Fame.

you realize that the links you posted only show the last few letters of the actual topic name
and so i would have to click every link to see whether it's even remotely interesting

e.g. tldr

The first two are obvious:

Gold: We are going to yell at you
Silver: I'm sorry I have to drop you because you look like Lance

Lot's of worthy candidates for the Bronze, but here is my choice:

Bronze: How many MPH s will I gain if I get a Cervelo

why don't you do it? I will copy and paste your work and you get free admission to the Hall in perpetuity (or until locked, whichever comes first)

Gold - I'm sorry I have to drop you because you look like Lance
Silver - Considering a used Trek
Bronze - Help! My Assos bibs smell awful!

Also, although hilarious, "I set my rear wheel on fire" should be disqualified because it is not a 41 thread.
