Nonsense. Cyclists don't have to obey the law. 8-)
Riding up one-way-lanes the wrong direction is a cyclists every-day-trip
to mekka!

Well, it depends. If there's enough space and budget and will there
might be usable bicycle lanes. But the average bicycle lane (in germany,
western part) is a holey, hunchbacked, worn-out and neglected strip of
asphalt which looks like it had no maintainance since the romans build
it...
... unless you're living in a city dedicated to encouraging cycling.
e.g. Münster, home of Linus Gerdeman, our man (who has been) in yellow.
