The collision happened at the Hardens Mead junction and the road was closed for around four hours with traffic diverted around the town.
The cyclist was taken to the Royal United Hospital in Bath with leg and pelvic injuries and the driver of the Suzuki was unhurt.
Police are appealing for witnesses to the incident who have not already contacted police.

Car pulled out from side street across path of rider in between the traffic calming measures.
Police and paramedic were on the scene quickly but ambulance took it's time. Don't understand why road was closed for 4 hours. They were probably measuring things as it was a serious acident. Thanks to the witness motorist who helped and to the St John's chap for his time and care.
Lucky not to have done serious injury.

Either way that particular "traffic calming" layout causes the exact 180 degree opposite of traffic calming - drivers racing each other to get into the middle "right of way zone".

Being a bloke i should not be admitting this but saimi has got a point as more male drivers are in incidents than the females.

I saw a big bold guy only a couple of days ago putting lipsalve on when driving which was worrying too.Even more worrying was if it was actually lipstick.
