There's no reason to prefer cycleway=opposite except "tradition".
Apart from that, it's inconsistent and confusing. All other values of
the cycleway key indicate that there is a physically separate lane or
track for bicycles, and that's what the cycleway key should really be
used for. cycleway=opposite is not a "cycleway", it's an exception from
an oneway restriction! The oneway:bicycle key is much better because it
fits in with other exceptions from oneway restrictions, such as oneway:bus.

So just use both for now. cyceway=opposite for backwards compatibility,
oneway:bicycle=no because it is the better tag.
