nice to take an interest in the workings of a bicycle and everything, but bikes are dead simple. You can see everything about how they work just by staring at them.
At your university interview theyd just be concerned, about your a-level grades. and that you gots monies to pay.
If you have a non- standard qualification, theyll probably give you a quick test see if you can do some differentiation equations on the spot etc..
Trying to talk about the workings of a bicycle in some faux engineering manner would probably be cringeful for your interviewer .
However feel free to talk about cycling as a hobby & pastime, to demonstrate your 'well rounded' character innit.
In terms of impressing them, mention a surprising unexpected field of engineering your interested in, some thing bold and different to what all the other students will.
And then mention somekind of philanthropic intention for your career.
