This is one of the more confusing usages in the language. It can mean either, although the more popular usage means every two weeks. In the US, our 1976 bicentennial was a celebration of 200 years, not 50.

From dictionary.com:

bi·week·ly adj.
Happening every two weeks.
Happening twice a week; semiweekly.

n. pl. bi·week·lies
A publication issued every two weeks.

adv.
Every two weeks.
Twice a week; semiweekly. See Usage Note at bi-1.
