THE PRIZE

trek kids bike jet 16

One Vanilla Joy reader will win this Trek Jet 16 child bike ($200) in his/her choice of color and size (depends on availability)!

MY REVIEW

I have fond memories of learning to ride a bike, and teaching Elliot to ride has been something I’ve looked forward to. Elliot is making quick progress thanks to Trek!

Elliot’s bike is a Trek Jet 16 and it’s the perfect beginner bike with sturdy training wheels,  comfortable seat, grippy handle bars, and plenty of reflectors. It’s light weight enough that Elliot can maneuver it easily by himself and won’t get stuck if he does fall over, and it’s a nice smooth ride so he’s comfortable on the road. Just look at his face – he’s having a blast!

Trek kid’s bikes are great because they’re designed to grow  with the child. Elliot is tall for his age so we got the 4-6 bike so he could grow into it. Even though it’s a little big, he still can ride comfortably and reach the pedals and everything. Trek has designed bikes to match a child’s physique and stature just right.

The Jet 16 is a basic bike with a single speed and coaster brakes. The training wheels can be removed and the seat raised, and I’m sure it will last through the use of several children.  Also it looks very cool. We love the sporty red and white or the Jet 16 also comes in a metallic blue and white combo as well.

Boyd put it all together in an evening and we had about 8 neighbor kids standing around totally enthralled with this super cool bike.

I love the range of Trek products – they’ve got bikes for all ages and stages and you get good quality for the price. Quality is important for a first bike and the Jet 16 is easy to ride and learn on.

We love bike riding as a mode of transportation, recreation, and exercise, and thanks to Trek, Elliot can ride along with us safely and have a great time!

  10. my daughter is turning 3 next month and she wants a bike!!! we were planning to wait until Christmas for financial reasons. Oh, how I’d love to give her a bike for her birthday :)

  11. I’d love to get this for my son as incentive. We’re having a hard time getting him to learn to pedal his “big wheel” bike though his friends are all experts at it. However, he’s obsessed with bikes and I think this would be the nudge that would work- a promise of the bike to come if he would spend some time working at it.

  18. I would love to win this for my little boy. Since my husband was laid off 18 months ago, things are incredibly tight and a bike has just not been in our budget. Love to surprise him with this.

  20. Subscribe to Vanilla Joy on You Tube Channel. The Trek Jet would be a great bike for my three year old grandson to learn on.

  23. I would love to win this bike for my nephew that doesn’t have much since my sister divorced her husband and has been working as hard as she can to support the two of them. He would be soo shocked to have a new bike!

  24. My almost 10 month old son has fairly severe developmental delays- I’d love to have this bike in our garage for when he meets his goals and is able to ride a bike!

  29. My boy needs a bike so badly: he won’t even ride a bike any more because the other children have bikes that are faster than his. It would make his summer to have a new bike just for him.

  32. I should win because I have a little boy that is heading in the direction of wanting to learn to ride a bike. He’s 3 and what a great bike this would be to learn with!

  35. I would like to win a bike for my 2 boys to use. They are too little to ride now, but maybe by next summer the older one could reach the pedals.

  36. I would love to give my daughters their own TREK adventure bike since they love to go on biking adventures with me.

  46. What a great bike! I’m still trying to convince my four-year old that he should have no fear of pedals…. gonna have to work harder on that one. Thanks for the giveaway!

  62. We were actually going to give the boys bikes for Christmas this year but didn’t really know where to start looking for one! This bike looks perfect for my 5 and 3 year olds! They would absolutely love it! What a great bike!

  74. I have been looking for a new bike for my 7yo. He still rides his small bike and it is just tooo small. He had another one for his size and age but he didnt like it because the middle was too high. These appear to have a “lower” middle and may be what I’m looking for but the price is very out of my budget. Winning one would be great!

  76. I would love to win this bike for my daughter should the opprtunity arise.
    I would love to be able to be an example and show my daughter that riding a bike is so much more fun than watching tv or playing video games. I want her to appreciate the wonders of outdoors and the benefits of fun exercise.

  88. I’d love to win one for my son! The bike has now is too small for him. He is tall for his age and grew out of it quickly. He loves to ride a bike and I’d love to win this for him so he can.

  92. We are a biking family. My husband and I each have two bikes and we have 2 bike trailers to pull our two kids. My son is 4 and getting old enough to start learning how to ride a bike so we can make room to pull one more child in the trailers. Both my husbands bikes are Treks. My son needs a Trek like his daddy.

  98. I would love to win this for my oldest daughter. She’ll be 4 next week and wants a bike so badly. She is adopted and has fetal alcohol syndrome- she has lots of behavior problems and some learning issues, but she her gross motor skills are amazing! She loves to talk about how big she’s getting and how strong she is and how she’s eating protein to get muscles :). We’ve looked for a used one and can’t find one that would be good for her- she would be overjoyed to receive this. Thanks! (Oh, her name is Gabi- it’s really “Gabriella Joy” but she’ll tell you that it’s “Gabi-yellow Joy.” Precious, huh? :)

  108. My son is getting way to big for his 12 inch bike, because he is growing like a weed :) He would be so excited to have a taller bike! Thanks for the giveaway!

  111. I would love to win the Trek bike for my sons! It looks like a great bike and from the website, it’s obviously a well-made, built to last bike. Just what I need to make it through 2 boys!

    Reply

  114. I should win this because I always have little brothers who could use new bikes. I also come from a family of 13.

    Reply

  115. Because my almost 4-year old has been riding a trike, but her knees are up to her chin when she pedals! I love the Mystic 16 and my daughter would think it’s the best 4th birthday present EVER!

    Reply

  120. Why I should win: because we’re currently saving our pennies to buy our kids their first bikes for Christmas (we’ve got a 6 year old and a 4 year old). This would be a HUGE help out with that!

    Reply

  121. I would love to win this bike for my son. We can only afford inexpensive bikes and they keep falling apart! Maybe he would get good at riding without training wheels if he had a quality bike.

    Reply

  129. I really don’t have a good reason as to why I should win. I know my little one would love it and it looks like a pretty safe bike to learn to ride on. I’m a safety crazed mom and if we got his bike, I would then just need to purchase a bike helmet too.

  130. I don’t think my son “deserves” this bike more than the next kid (Because EVERY kid should have an awesome bike like this! What child wouldn’t LOVE it?!) My son is only 18 months-old, but he already points at every bike that rides down our street or that we pass on our walks or in the stores, and yells “bike!” So I can only imagine how excited he’d be to have his very own “bike!” Thanks!

  137. I would love to win this for my nephew – he has been wanting a bike and this would be wonderful!

  141. I should win because my sweet son has almost outgrown his smaller bike and is ready to hand it down to his little brother. He has been working really hard to learn to ride a two-wheeler and this bike would be awesome for him!
