[OSM-talk] opencyclemap and car directions

[arno]

Hi,
I was told today by a bicycle commuter that openstreemap is "interesting but 
unsuccessful" because "opencyclemap is wrong".

His point was:
opencyclemap show the directions for cars but not for cyclists:
in his city, there are a lot of streets where car can only go one way, but 
cyclists can go both.
These streets are correctly mapped (have the 
cycleway=opposite_lane|opposite_track|opposite) but on cyclemap layer, are 
still represented as oneway on opencyclemap.

So, I explained the difference between data and its representation, and I 
explained that that osm is not unsuccessful. But I also understand my 
interlocutor point of view: opencyclemap is supposed to be a cyclist map, but 
it shows directions for cars.

So, I was wondering if you knew why this is the way it is ?
