Implicating bicycle_helmet → helmet
Link to implication

Reason:

A bicycle helmet is a type of helmet.

EDIT: The tag implication bicycle_helmet -> helmet (forum #241372) has been rejected by @NotMeNotYou.

And helmet is a type of armor per current implications.
So any image with a bicycle helmet would be irrevocably tagged armor.

Are you suggesting that an object specifically designed to protect the head from physical impact is not armor?

the thing is that when person writes "armor" in search box, chances are that they are not looking for characters wearing bicycle helmets

That doesn't change the fact that it is armor. Not all armor is plate armor and chainmail.

"what person is looking for when they type this in search box" tends to take higher priority than what is technically correct. the purpose of tagging system is to make easier to find what person wants rather than making things harder just sake of technically correct implications.

Bicycle helmets, football helmets, motocross helmets, construction helmets, riot helmets, ballistic helmets... Which of those are armor, and which aren't?

Helmet is implicated to armor, which means that hard_hat and firefighter_helmet already get the tag. Considering that, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch to tag bicycle helmets as 'armor'.

Alternately, helmet should be unimplicated from armor.

i sure don't see any hard hats in this search.

Not many helmets either, mostly just body armor.
But maybe the armor tag should be redefined so that it only covers 'armor' that's designed for combat, not any protective gear.
