An ACT emergency services spokesman said the cyclist was left with only minor injuries as the bus was travelling very slowly.

"There were a few bumps and bruises and the patient was escorted to The Canberra Hospital," the spokesman said.

ACT policing said the crash occurred southbound on Northbourne Avenue, near Morphett Street in Dickson.

They said traffic was running slowly between 8:30am and 9:00am as one lane was temporarily closed.
