I have a pair of Cyclefixation knickers. I bought them because they seemed to fanciest/dressiest of the ones I was looking at. Grey wool, button closure at the cuff, etc. The weirdest feature is the elastic waistband that covers the back half. Unless you buy small and it is stretched very tight, you look like you're wearing a diaper. An added effect is when the elastic gathers, it flares the back pockets open, which are too big to begin with and don't have any way to close (button, zipper, velcro). The finish is good, but if I were redesigning I would ditch the elastic and add closure in some form to the back pockets.
