I don’t even have all bib shorts, but otherwise, this; tights over padded shorts.
alternatively, knee warmers and long socks (eg, football/rugby socks) that come up to meet the knee. No exposed skin, but the versatility to remove clothing as temps change.
if I were to wear padded tights, I’d need to be going on a ride where I know it won’t get warm enough to take off the tights/knee warmers. Even when I lived in Ireland and rode through the winter, I could ride in shorts some days. I also have the option of running in said tights; you can do that if they’re padded, but it won’t be fun.
