Default i cant ride for a week

I was at work yesterday, and I was using the bench grinder it is kinda low so i had my leg up on something so i could stand to the side and and lean down and see what i am doing with out catching sparks in the face. So i pull the peice i am working with up to look at my progress and my foot slips off and my knee goes right on the grinding stone. At first i felt kind of like a rug burn type feeling so i went back to what i was doing than i look down and i am standing in a puddle of my own blood. So i finish the job cause the customer is waiting for their car. Well i finish get cleaned up and go to the hospital i end up with 10 stiches on my knee cap. It is no big deal but i cant ride my bike for 7 to 10 days now cause i cant bend my leg to sit on the bike casue if i do the stiches are going to fly right out. So in the end bench grinder 1, me 0

Then just add some ape hangers, and your set.
