Before his professional playing days, John Olerud had surgery which required the placement of a metal plate in his head. He wears the hard helmet at all times for protection. Foul balls are often hit into the dugout. John is allowed by MLB to wear his batting helmet while playing defensively to protect from an injury he received early in his career.

Do you salute the American flag with a bicycle helmet?

First, I assume the question is really..."Do you salute the American flag while you are wearing a bicycle helmet?" If the helmet is part of a uniform, you salute. If it's not, you take the helmet off and hold it over your heart. Second, if the question is..."Do you salute a bicycle helmet with an American flag on it?" then the answer is no.
