That is funny because I have been taught the oppisite... It is always easier for the downhill rider to stop and start again than it is for the uphill rider.

What is the etiquette when you encounter another cyclist while crossing
the Sellwood bridge using the sidewalk? I?ve always thought that the
cyclist who has already crested the middle of the bridge (regardless of
  direction) and is heading down has the right of way and the uphill
cyclist should slow/stop and move as close to the rail as possible. What
do you think? Is there a written or an unwritten rule?

The unwritten rule that I use (and have heard/been taught) is to always
yeild to the rider who is approaching downhill. If you are 'ascending'
the bridge, then you yield out of courtesy to the rider on the descent.
