How to filter away short fragments in Overpass?

I want to show all long stretches of cycleway in a certain area, as to do some quality checks. However, I don't care about the small cycleways (e.g. <5m length) and want to remove them from the rendering of overpass.

Is this possible?

No, there is no length operator in the Overpass query language.

If you use JOSM you could use Overpass API to fetch just the cycleways and then use the search to find and purge the short ways. Add a tile layer showing OpenStreetMap and the visualization is similar.

According to the devs, it'll be added in the next release :)
