[OSM-newbies] one way for cars, two way for bikes

I'm trying to map a section of road where motor traffic can only travel 
in one direction, but on one side of the road, sometimes separated by 
parked cars, is a two lane bike lane for cyclists to travel in either 
direction.

highway = residential
oneway = true
cycleway = opposite

Would this be the correct set of tags for it? From the wiki, it seems 
that long description for cycleway=opposite covers the lane in both 
directions for cyclists. The other two cycleway=opposite_lane and 
opposite_track are less clear to me. Do they imply one way for cyclists 
as well, but in the opposite way? Or two way for cyclists?

If someone could explain this I can updated the wiki perhaps even with a 
photo.

Thanks
