Essentially, yes. They all mean he likes to ride bicycles in general. Grammatically, all 3 ARE correct. No. 3 probably sounds the least natural though.

1.He likes bicycle riding. 他喜欢骑车。(这里的分bicycle riding 是名词,指骑自行车这项运动,意思和3差不多。)
2.He likes to ride bicycles. 他喜欢去骑自行车。(like to do sth 指喜欢做某一个具体的事。)
3.He likes riding a bicycle. 他喜欢骑着一辆自行车。(Like doing sth 指喜欢做某事,即某个爱好或兴趣。)

* no 1 is correct
* 2 , remove the s (like)
* NO. 3 is the wrong one :)
