I'd like to do some short-ish duathalons -- there is a 2 mi run -- 20 mile ride -- 2 mile run coming up in September, for instance. Do I need to bother with clips or cycling shoes for this distance, or am I best-off tucking my laces in on my running shoes for the biking portions? Who makes an affordable and decent cycling shoe/clip setup these days (assuming I need to buy them)?
Many thanks!

PM Kuan, he is our resident bike expert.
I use clipless shoes for my mountain and road bike.
I just use different shoes. The shoes that I use for my mountain bike allow me to walk on them, since the clip attachment point is almost fully recessed into the shoe's sole.
The shoes that I use for my road bike are nealry impossible to walk on...
Shimano makes affordable and advanced systems. Check out their website (the biking website, not their fishing website).
I use Michelin tires for the road bike and whatever is on sale and has the right kind of knobbing and thread for the mountain bike.
Good luck my friend...sounds like a lot of fun....
