In Normal map style it appears whithin the 200m bottom left scale.
In Outdoor map style it is present until the begining of the 5km scale (which is very appreciable already). Zoomed in Outdoor, the path is very visible whith its blue/white stripe line. However at a higher elevation, it is rendered as a dotted thin white line (no more blue).

Could it be possible to have these multi KM cyclepaths rendered noticeably at a large scale? It could be a new map style, it could appear as part of Outdoors, it could be when displaying a bike journey.

This might be related to the effort to render cycleLANES (organicmaps/organicmaps#4194) the first comment mentions a bike specilised map style. The selection could go: Select cycle dedicated routes render them very visible ; Select cyclelanes longer than a 1km render them visible; Select bits of roads that link at both end to a already selected path render them a bit visible. Enabling the Bicycle map style And Outdoors could raise the visibility of bicycle marked unpaved roads. And to keep them visible from the distance if they are long enough.

In fact another approach (might be wrong but maybe worth mentionning) to showing cycle routes worth rendering at scale could be to run the routing algorithm with cycling method between each city/town/village node of an area (maybe store the result as a tile) and display it. Boudaries to neighbouring tiles could be included in both tiles. That would allow to display it at a national/continental scale maybe.

I like to plan my cycling trips from town to town. Such distances 20-80km) of continuous cycle route exist and more. for example vélodyssée, EU cycle routes, old train lines turned into a cycle route...
