mscommuter,
As far as I know cyclist's and dancers are the only sports in which leg warmers are used. But because they are different than tights we have to have a distinction so we know what we are talking about.
Here is a picture of some leg warmers. They are used for when it's both cool and hot on the same ride because they can be easily removed.
However, when it's quite cold, full tights over shorts work the best.
