Use this awk script to adjust standard GPX files downloaded from any site (bikes) into a GPX format that is supported by Xcode.
awk '
BEGIN {
buffer=""
}
{
gsub(/<\/*trk>/,"",$0)
gsub(/<\/*trkseg>/,"",$0)
gsub(/<trkpt/,"<wpt", $0)
gsub(/<\/trkpt>/,"<\/wpt>", $0)
print
}
/<wpt/,/<\/wpt>/ {
buffer=buffer $0
if ($0 !~ "<\/wpt>") {
buffer=buffer "\n"
}
}
/<\/wpt>/ {
#print buffer
buffer=""
}
END {
}' $1

All the buffer calculation is not needed.

The same effect can be achieved by editing the original file and printing the result (which is what the script is already doing, but by using print is printing twice the same things)

awk
{
    gsub(/<\/*trk>/,"",$0)
    gsub(/<\/*trkseg>/,"",$0)
    gsub(/<trkpt/,"<wpt", $0)
    gsub(/<\/trkpt>/,"<\/wpt>", $0)
}
END {}
