Between Bunol and Valencia there are not too many alternatives in terms of cycle paths. There are a few paths just before Valencia that will take you easily into the city.

Section of road to go up to the port of El Gabaldón linking the city of Chiva with Gestalgar. A very picturesque route and not very physically demanding.
