Same here. But I think that would be an acceptable disadvantage. Till now I haven't got any idea how to fix this problem as it seems to be caused by a lack of routing functionalities in Garmin device firmware. They simply didn't care of cycleways in opposite directions.

May be there will be only one solution in the long run:
An additional mgkmap program argument which decides whether the map shall be used for bicycles only or for motorcars only.
