You want bibs with a windproof thigh and frontal area.

Merino/polyester long johns over short liners and then cross-country ski pants over that. Has to be pretty chilly for that combo which I find pretty good at 0 Fahrenheit.

being older (74) I wear onesies as a matter of course in general under my trousers and I find they keep my legs and privates warm but still allow movement. I also wear a wooly hat under my helmet and a decent pair of gloves. I don`t ride for hrs and just go out around the country lanes but for longer journeys to and from work you guys might need an extra layer on the legs.
 
I don't like too much material round my knees, and I'm a skinflint so, summer bib shorts, merino knee/leg warmers and a pair of thick "trackie" type fleecy shorts. IIH I don't really go out if it's frosty cos I'm a bit nervous about black ice, having come a cropper many years ago!

Put a pair of baggies on over your longs.
Keeps the wind off.
