Personally, for casual around-town riding, I'm a big fan of Carhartt double-knee work pants:
If you want added protection or are going for a longer ride, add Icon's knee/shin armor:
The Icon armor is terrific -- very comfortable, and it's pretty unobtrusive with pants over it.
Also, the Carhartt double-knee pants are very tough. I took a spill last autumn, went down in part on my left knee, and slid, and the pants didn't even wear through the outer layer of canvas.

Do you keep one bullet left for yourself, for when it's all over and done?
