Hi, I'm kind of new to the sport of triathlon and just recently got serious. I have done three so far with my dad's old racing bike and I feel I'm ready to buy my first bike. My question is, should I go for a racing bike and clip on aerobars or should I get a full out tri bike. I'm worried that if I get a tri bike it will be too uncomfortable to ride casually at times.

Well, ideally you should have at least one of each... 

Personal opinion, if you plan to do anything other than triathlon training and triathlon racing, you're better off with a road bike & clip-ons.  It's a lot more versatile.
