We study surfaces of general type S with pg=0 and K2=3 having an involution i such that the bicanonical map of S is not composed with i. It is shown that, if S/i is not rational, then S/i is birational to an Enriques surface or it has Kodaira dimension 1 and the possibilities for the ramification divisor of the covering map S→ S/i are described. We also show that these two cases do occur, providing an example. In this example S has a hyperelliptic fibration of genus 3 and the bicanonical map of S is of degree 2 onto a rational surface.
