Do bicycles have worm gears

No.

Bicycles with external gears have chain-and-sprocket gears.

Bicycles with internally geared hubs have both a chain-and-sprocket gear and spur gears (usually in a planetary configuration) inside the rear hub.

Then there are the rather rare shaft-drive bicycles, which use bevel gears. And maybe an internally geared hub as well. Then there's the occasional belt drive bike of course. And one or two CVT designs.

Where are worm gears used?

worm gears are used in machines that need high gear ratiosspoonsWorm gears are found in some kinds of 90 degree gearing junctions, generally with a large change in gearing ratio.For example, many tillers have worm gears between the input shaft and the crosswise tines.Since a motorcycle doesn't need a true differential, it may also have a worm gear connecting the drive shaft to the rear wheel.An adjustable end wrench (Crescent Wrench) also has a worm gear for adjustment, and it is easily visible.There are some devices such as a telescope stand that have precision adjustment with a worm gear, especially if the only adjust through a fraction of a circle.Worm gears are used to reduce speed. They can be found in factories. Google it to buy one.
