A motor cycle yes, a three wheel `trike` no, a pedal cycle no, but it is safer to wear one, and there has been talk to make it compulsory, very soon.

It's been the law to wear a helmet on a motorcycle on the public road in the UK since 1973. The only exception is for Sikhs who can get away with wearing a turban.

A motorbike, yes (unless you're a Sikh.....) but unfortunately that law doesn't apply to pedal cycles yet, therefore most cyclists involved in any kind of accident on the roads usually suffers with major head injuries as well as the usual broken bones.
