Yes, cycleway=opposite isn't quite consistent with what the cycleway key
is used for otherwise, and it's not really extensible to other cases
either. My suggestion is, therefore, to tag oneway:bicycle=no which is
consistent with this much more universally applicable scheme:

cycleway=opposite is used a lot more frequently, though. For
compatibility's sake, you should therefore still set that tag in
addition to any alternative you decide to use.
