I don't know about riding
I don't know about riding bare. I'm willing to do the reading and check out videos and try it, but I like clipping in and going. If you're going to put water socks on, might as well take the time and instead put on stiff cycling shoes. Going sockless (which is by no means a new idea) speeds those transitions up and will make T2 (bike to run) even quicker if there are no shoes to slip on.
I've done my two tris in VFFs and that was great. Only worry going in to it was sometimes during my brick workouts my little toe would get a bt numb. Try sliding a numb toe into a VFF toe socket. Luckily, I got that issue worked out before the first race.
I already said this in the other post, it its nice to have a tri forum on here now too.
