As this post goes out, my beloved Bianchi C2c Via Nirone 7<\/a> should have just emerged from the workshop after its first service. \u00a0Strava says I’ve ridden it for around 1200km<\/a> and, as I rack up some miles in my training for several events this year (London-Paris in June, Wakefield to Manchester over Holme Moss in July, and the Ride London-Surrey 100 in August), it seems a good to point to take it back to Epic Cycles<\/a> to give it a once over…<\/p>\n

I’ve also got a few open tabs in my browser with cycling-related bits and pieces I mean to blog about… so here’s a special cycling-themed “short takes” blog post…<\/p>\n

Editing GPX files<\/h3>\n

\"\"Every now and again, it’s bound to happen… you forget to stop the cycle computer\/app on the smartphone and the resulting GPS eXchange format (GPX) file has a block in the middle where you were waiting for your mates to arrive\/sitting in a coffee shop\/whatever. \u00a0Then there are times when the GPS goes haywire and thinks you did 87.8kph down a hill, or when it just straight-lines a corner. In those instances, you might want to edit the file.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, <\/span>GPX files are not binary – they are just another XML schema<\/a> – and <\/span>the OpenStreetMaps Wiki has advice for editing GPX files in a text editor<\/a>. \u00a0Hack around to your heart’s content, then upload to your social sharing site of choice<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Searching for bike serial numbers<\/h3>\n

We’re off to Centre Parcs later this year, and I needed to provide details of our bikes (useful for insurance purposes too). \u00a0Once again, I was searching for the serial number for my mountain bike<\/a>\u00a0and, once again, it was eluding me so, whilst it’s unlikely to apply to everyone who reads this blog, here’s the link to Trek’s advice on where to find your bike’s serial number<\/a>.<\/p>\n
