Great find, I am going to enjoy reading some of that stuff. Lay off the meat, you C&V lunch lovers!

In french it says Ne jamais pédaler par amour-propre: don't ride out of self-love, vanity, or just to show off
(only rule I break from time to time). C. Graves' translation is a bit off, I suppose he meant, not for the sake of riding, but to improve oneself.
