Looking at 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Map_Features
isn't it just cycleway=opposite, rather than cycleway=opposite_lane?

I'm not entirely sure of the difference.

The equivalent suggested for psv makes sense, but doesn't feature in
Map_Features at all (and looking neither does the equivalent tags
for taxis, for roads where cars can only go one way, but buses,
taxis and bicycles (and maybe motorbikes) can go both ways). I guess
that just means your road will get highlighted in the MapLint stuff
with the "not-in-Map-Features" highlighting.
