I'd second mech eng, good degree which will set you up with a nice broad understanding of the basics, most companies will train you in any specialised knowledge better than a uni can.

If you do decide to change your focus later on mech eng is a good spring board into a lot of decent industries.

I did mech eng, really enjoyed it and now work in IT which is also a lot of fun.

So it gives you a good grounding, is fun, if one of the more arduous degrees in terms of studying and will be good for jobs after.

Make sure you like maths though.

Quite a lot of the bikes and bike stuff are designed by product/industrial designers. I'm one myself and have seen quite a few jobs for industrial designers for SRAM, Trek and Specialized. You would need to get a fair few years experience in the design industry and get a pretty lucky break though!
