I've never heard culottes for pants. I think you'll probably hear pantalon in the singular 90%+ of the time, but I highly doubt the plural would shock anyone.
My coworkers use a mix of vélo and bicyclette, bicyclette mostly being used by older coworkers. Most common currently is vélo, you're more likely to hear bicyclette from older/more rural québécois imo. Bécyk/bicyk/however you feel like spelling it is a bit slangy but I think I've heard it a decent bit
I'm honestly not sure what all bas refers to in france? Maybe with some photos?

"culottes" meaning pants might be a regional or rural thing, I've heard people use it that way in new brunswick
for women's stockings, usito gives "bas de nylon" or "bas-culotte"

Talked to my roommate and she's heard culottes a decent bit, roughly said it's used by certain individuals but they're fairly common, I might've heard it a decent bit and just not noticed. She had no real preference for pantalon(s), said she hears them about evenly and thinks of pantalons more as a pair of pants
She said bicyclette for her makes her think of a really casual, old cruiser bike (though 1000% my older coworkers use it for just regular bikes), and bécyk makes her think of a motorcycle mainly, though it def is used for regular bike.
For stockings she said "bas haut" (which I've heard before) but is pretty nonspecific, I mentioned "bas de nylon" and she said that was good & she's heard it, "bas-culotte" she said was stupid and sounded french 🇫🇷 lol
