If you're in the UK, ISTR there's now a law that all new bicycles must be
fitted with a bell.

Banging someone else's head against a wall uses ~ 450 Kcalls an hour, and is
ultimately more rewarding.

I wasn't paying much attention to it, but it may be that the manufacturer
has to fit the bell, but the shop or the end customer are perfectly within
their rights to pull it off.

Dude, I didn't say it was a BMX. alt.bmx is just more appropriate for a
DIRT JUMP BIKE.
