A 52-year-old man died while riding his enduro motorcycle on forest trails near Busko-Zdroj, Poland, on the evening of August 17. When he failed to return home, his worried family searched for him, and his son found him and the motorcycle the next morning. Police say preliminary findings indicate he lost control and struck a tree; a prosecutor has ordered an autopsy.

I ride solo on forest trails a lot too, so this isn't someone else's story to me. Riding alone means if something happens, nobody notices right away, that fear never really goes away. Cases like this, where family had to go searching, are genuinely hard to read. At the very least, telling someone where you're headed before you go out is something I want to hold myself to.

I sometimes ride forest trails alone too — this doesn't feel distant at all.

Enduro riders often go out solo, so this really doesn't feel like someone else's problem.

Not many enduro riders seem to carry comms or emergency gear yet, from what I've seen.

The fact that it was his son who found him — there are no words.

This really drives home the need for a check-in plan when riding solo on forest trails.

Do most riders actually share their location before heading into the forest?
