-Available on DVD: no
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: medium+ ?
-Rating:  7/10 ?
-Rating: *******
-Comment: I think Ben aka Benedikt Campbell as Ben Osborne (the kid) in blue bibs. Obviously at least one girl cycling in bibs (pic 3) and also confirmed men in bibs. Farm / prairie content. The boy was riding but unknown if also in bibs.

I found this by coincidence. The short clips on YouTube are in very bad condition, so the first pic is taken from nelvana.com.

1961 short story and radio play by W.O. Mitchell (who also wrote the novel for "Who Has Seen the Wind (1977)", entry coming soon, at least rating 8, for more infos see)

This is a remake of series Jake and the Kid (1961), which I also have to check, and there are also some stage plays, one very good pic of a Calgary 2009 play is also shown in that link.

Pic 4 looking more like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. I can't say much more and have to check this again. Canadian series are often very good. Unfortunately not on DVD but available online as Instant video.

Rating 7 for now. Update also women and maybe older teen boys/young men
