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.

What states have a law that says people should wear a bike helmet when ridinig bikes?

Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia have bicycle helmet laws that require some young bicyclists to wear a helmet. No states currently have laws requiring anyone over 17 to wear a helmet. However local law may require helmet use for some or all bicyclists. These means, for example, whilst Washington have no laws requiring helmet use Seattle city law does require it. This means you need to look specifically at your city laws for the provisions put forward in your area. You may be surprised at what you find; city provisions can often be much stricter than state laws.
