I forgot cycleway=opposite in my first reply, but it really isn't a
cycleway. Imo, "cycleway" is a bad choice of key for this, something
like oneway:bicycle=no would be much more appropriate.
Unlike cycleway=opposite_lane and cycleway=opposite_track, there isn't
any road or section of road specifically intended for bicycles, so it
isn't more of a cycleway than any ordinary road.

Of course, a cyclemap should still make sure to visibly indicate whether
an oneway rule applies to bicycles.
