Il est aussi cycliste. - Sur piste. - Il fut même champion de France de vitesse en 1912. - La même année, il participe à la première course cycliste en Amérique. - À Newark. - Il arrive troisième, derrière Kramer et Grenda. - L'année suivante, il est à Leipzig où il arrive encore troisième, mais au Championnat du Monde de vitesse cette fois-là, derrière Ritt et Ellegard. En '14, il est pilote. Son avion est abattu en 1916. Hospitalisé (blessures aux jambes, au dos, au bassin), il retrouve peu à peu la santé mais comprend qu'il ne fera plus jamais parti du monde du cyclisme. Alors il se lance dans la chanson. D'abord pour remonter le morale des troupes (en milieux hospitaliers) tout en organisant des réunions cyclistes au bénéfice de la Croix Rouge. À la fin de la guerre, il décide de poursuivre cette nouvelle carrière où, en partie grâce à sa réputation de grand cycliste, il devient petit à petit une vedette de la chanson.
