Rollerskating around Tàihú (太湖)

Filed under: Rollerskating, Shanghai, China, Biking — atomicskate @ 9:54 am — 426 Views

A week ago, on Saturday, the 17th of October, ElManouch & Keke planned to go to Tàihú for some mountainbike. As there were 2 empty seats, Thibaut & I joined the trip, but for rollerskating ;-)

Filed under: Rollerskating, Shanghai, China, Biking — atomicskate @ 2:53 pm — 390 Views

尽管轮滑赛和小车赛的判决真的不公平,我还是挺喜欢这个比赛因为可以碰见很多朋友们已经好久时间没有玩跟他们 ;-)

就这一次我没有需要两个月为放一些活动的照片在我的博客上面 ;-)

他们选择浙江永安山因为这个地方挺方便:在山顶有一个人造的草场,从那里跳可以很安全。
那边的下坡很险峻:斜面有

Danny MacAskill April 2009

Filed under: Biking — atomicskate @ 2:59 pm — 540 Views

Filmed in and around Edinburgh, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen. There’s some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.

Thanks to XW for sending me this awesome video!

Issues with large GPS KML files

Filed under: Rollerskating, Tech corner, China, Trips, Biking — atomicskate @ 11:23 am — 721 Views
处理太大的GPS KML文件 中文

GPSBabel

GPS is great when you’re doing outdoor activities, but coming back to your computer, it’s sometimes a little bit tricky to use the output data, in my case, namely the KML / KMZ file.

Indeed, the GPS terminal records coordinates, altitude & other info each X seconds. It means that if you record your track for a time with a high rate recording frequency, your KML file is going to include thousands of points

Everything is fine with Google Earth when you import your KML file, but some issues appear when you wanna import it in Google Maps (for instance, the tracks will split in several parts).
Indeed, if your KML polygons have too many points, the file will be too big for Google Maps.
Only one solution: reduce the number of points (and coordinates).

Here comes GPSBabel.

GPSBabel converts waypoints, tracks, and routes between popular GPS receivers and mapping programs. It also has powerful manipulation tools for such data.
For instance, in order to reduce the number of coordinates, you just have to apply one of the filters:
GPSBabel filters

It’s free and it works under Windows, MacOS and Linux!

Rollerskating in Zhèjiāng

Filed under: Rollerskating, Shanghai, China, Trips, Biking — atomicskate @ 10:34 pm — 1220 Views

As I can’t throw away traditions, I write this post… very late ;-)
For our second rollerskating trip, we’ve chosen to go back to 莫干山 (Mògānshān) on the first day, and then to try two new places around 天荒坪镇 (Tiānhuāngpíng village).
It was on October 11th and 12th.
