The incident happened at Valley Boulevard and Dupont Street just after midnight. Investigators originally called it a fatal hit-and-run, but they said the driver, 25-year-old William Johnson, contacted police.
Police said the bicyclist, who has not been identified, was riding eastbound on the westbound lanes on Valley Boulevard when he was hit by the driver of a white Mercedes Benz. The area is not well-lit at night.
The impact left the bicycle folded in half. The car's hood was dented and the windshield was broken.
According to investigators, Johnson parked the Mercedes down the street from the accident scene and called police. He's being questioned by authorities and has not been placed under arrest.
