Are these spats or bike shorts? I'm a little confused--I can't find the definition for spats anywhere.

Spats are like tight high waisted things girls wear under clothing to make their stomach appear smaller.

In English spats are shoe covers. The proper word for what she is wearing are bike shorts. However, they're also sometimes referred to as sports pants, which some shorten to spats.

I've heard the word "spatsu" used in anime to refer to them. The subs always read "spandex" though.

I heard them referred to as spats long before I was into anime, so for what it's worth.

It's English, so you call them bike shorts.

Spats in Japanese is an odd contraction of "short pants". Don't say spats in English because they are an entirely different item of clothing.
