Bicycle is a vehicle (in OSM transportation mode hierarchy at least)

An other way to explain Martin point is by saying that oneway key is an
alias of vehicle:backward|forward
oneway=yes -> vehicle:backward=no
oneway=-1 -> vehicle:forward=no

oneway=yes -> vehicle:backward=no
oneway:bicycle=no -> bicycle:backward=yes

Why not, I’m ok with that, for me oneway:foot is easier to read and
understand (that’s why it’s more used I guess).
At the end it’s just a matter of definition.
So to answer the question, I don’t think there is a good and deep reason to
recommend foot:backward|forward over oneway:foot.

Regards.
