[Tagging] Tagging for the renderer : One-way "flow" bicycle tracks

I recently went on a hike, guided only by OSMAnd.  We ended up planning a
route
that took us uphill on what turned out to be a long series of one way downhill
mountain bike flow tracks.

I have no problem with the flow track: just had it been clearly delineated
we would have planned a different route more suited to hiking.
But I was left without clear tagging ideas.




One of the trails was
https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/593945914#map=19/37.99250/-122.50667
highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway?uselang=en> path
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=path?uselang=en>
horse <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:horse?uselang=en> no
name <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:name?uselang=en> Bunny
oneway:bicycle
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:bicycle?uselang=en> yes
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:oneway:bicycle=yes?uselang=en>
surface <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:surface?uselang=en> dirt
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:surface=dirt?uselang=en>With a
clear direction, as it has jumps that can only be completed in a single
direction, and is all but impossible to cycle the "wrong way" on.




Is this trail tagged the best that can be?

Is there a way to better hint to rendering that this should look different
from a "standard" hiking trail, perhaps tagged:
highway <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway?uselang=en> path
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=path?uselang=en>
name Hiking Trail
surface dirt
bicycle <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:oneway:bicycle?uselang=en>
permissive


I see that even *OpenCyclemap *does not draw directional arrows on the
"Bunny" trail or other oneway:bicycle=yes routes.
