I would have trouble with 2 full-length layers of lycra / tights also, if I understand what you are doing. However, I use bike shorts, not too tight, and not full length tights when it's warm enough. If I need better coverage the single layer of thermal leg warmers, also not real tight, are so comfortable I don't notice them. If I have an issue, it's that I cannot walk more than 20 feet without the leg warmers wanting to come down. Best of all they are so compact they easily fit in a jersey pocket.
The only other (poor) alternative would be zip off nylon hiking pants. Light weight, breathable, dry fast, but not aero and a bit warmer than the thermal warmers becuase they do not breath quiet as well.
addendum: mine are the Pearl, worn a dozen times. The size zipper isn't as long as I would like to get them on / off over the shoes easily.
