I _think_ that is illegal in the UK anyway isn't it?  Cycles generally 
have to follow the normal rules of the road unless there is a sign 
explicitly making some exception (I've never seen a "one-way for everyone 
except cycles" sign in the UK).

Of course, technically there should probably be a way of specifying the 
one-wayness of a way for each type of transport.  It can even apply to 
pedestrians - a footway which goes up/down an escallator would be one-way 
for pedestrians.  Then there are things like ski pistes, which are 
slightly harder since there is no rule saying you can't walk up the slope, 
but you probably don't want to. :)
