So there's a Vino option in the poll, but the Vino option is not the Vino option...

It's been so long ago that I can't remember if it was a thing here or someplace else:
"Leipheimer attacking out of the back of the peloton"

Yeah I don't think this forum has had that many big memes actually, and it's been more like posters preferences/biases do get joked about a lot without it necessarily turning into a meme. I also think a lot of old stuff died with some long time posters getting banned or being less active.
Anyway I used to love Hitch stage previews. Only good thing about the 2012 Giro

"There's no chance race x won't get cancelled" has been a rather annoying meme going on this year. Although, it probably wasn't a meme.
"Rider y will win this bike race".
Also, would anyone be a dear and explain what the Vino stuff actually means?

Talking about grandmothers: "Descending like [X-Rider]'s grandmother" or "[X-rider] descends like a grandmother". Though, I dunno if that counts as forums memes, since it was technically Wiggins who started it by describing his own descending skills as such.

Legend says that when the first poll on CN was made, the final option was already Vino

Ninja Zubeldia was one of the best memes. Is Gigs watching has become a classic.
Never cared for the bag, the Vino option on the other hand is a classic.
I hate to say it, but I kinda miss Ryo and some of his antics...

Bag was fun for a while, but it's not the kind of thing that stays fun.
Did Ryo ever name the 30 Colombians that were better than Nibali when Nibs was crushing the 2013 Giro?

I don't know where it came from. It was already there when I started lurking IIRC. I think it's just one of those things that was done once and stuck without having a specific event related to it.Is that all the explanation I can get?

Tbh I'd associate myself much more with complaining about GT routes than The Button.
Libertine Seguros has had a few, though I wouldn't call hating Sagan a meme really, but the Sepp Kuss thing is hilarious. Also Fedaia (FEDAIAAAA!!!!!), mentioning the best women rider in every rider of the year discussion. And shoutout to that one time I said there must be at least 150 climbs harder than Alpe d'Huez and LS went and made an entire list of 150 climbs
I do like the Black Album thing @Netserk. I'm not sure if it ever was a meme, but I did like @LaFlorecita's old sig referencing Hitch calling Contador the Greatest of the Nine. I think it started during the 2011 Tour or something.
CN was way different when I was still lurking. Stage threads were insane, previews could be huge. I think the first time I was lurking might actually have been the 2011 Tour de Suisse when Leipheimer beat Cunego in that final ITT, which is probably the smallest race to ever cause such rage on the forum. There also used to be some rivalry between The Dutch Mafia and some other posters, I think Aussieyclefan but most of this was before I posted here.

I think it was just about Vinokourovs sheer aggression. I think Jens_Attacks used to hype him a lot but he no longer posts here sadly.
Maybe, but that was like 4 years before the forum started. Might be more due to surprise LBL win?

Yea if you look back on it, no surprise Vino became a meme. He definitely pulled a couple of rabbits out of the hat with The Champs Elysee victory, "magical" LBL and of course the London Olympics.

Unfortunately I think Andreas Klöden might have started this one himself with his fall from grace off the columbierre in the 2009 Tour....

No, but I remeber when LS actually named 150 climbs that are harder/better than Alpe d'Huez, that was awesome!

The good old beef between Dutch Mafia and Aussiecyclingfan with a sprinkle of Ryo thrown in.

Probably too obvious (and mentioned?), but Sepp Kuss only races on steep MTF is obvious.

Jancouver vs the Tour Down Under, LRP and Aussie cycling in general deserves a mention.

No such thing as Levi attacking anywhere.
Except for when he attacked the forum in the 2011 Tour de Swiss ITT.
Replace Levi with Lous Meintjes (spelling?).

Anyone remember El Pistolero? He wasn't backwards in coming forwards.
