Bikely is mangling uploaded gps tracks.

My last two uploads to bikely have had 1000+ points reduced to 149 and 100 points respectively. This results in an unusable track with no details as trail riders can get lost in the forest if the intersections and trailheads get obscured by point reduction.
There are ways of reducing the number of points in a track, the best I've seen is the Douglas Puecker algorithm which can properly reduce the number of points in a track without changing the shape of the track.

You can try the algorithm out with gpxeditor.
In the interim, could you have bikely be less intensive on the point reduction?
