i feel like the knickers will be better for biking, but i might be working at a place that requires full length pants. climbing gear seems like it could suit biking very well.
climbing pants are great for riding... prana has some nice stuff. i am not sure about the model you linked to, but all my prana pants are made of quick-dry material and have snaps so that when you roll up the legs on your pants you can snap them in place (which is nice, though i dont really have a problem with pants unrolling on me). also, they are very stretchey so that you have unrestricted movement when climbing, which is comfortable for me when riding. they also make a 3/4 length knicker very similar to the chrome's.
