As a Watertown resident, I've been reading this thread with interest.
I'm afraid that I'd have to agree with the previous poster--the Davis Square area of Somerville offers far more amenities for the "car-challenged."
Not to be anal, Chaos, but the bike path along the Charles doesn't even make it into Waltham. It ends in the western portion of Watertown, at the intersection of Pleasant and Bridge Streets. From there on out, it's city streets.

Watertown square to waltham can be a dicey bike ride in the summer. It's heavy trafficed road. I use to ride that way to get to the Charles for a weekly bike ride. And at times it could be scary.
The Minuteman bikeway goes all the way from Cambridge out to Waltham along the Charles, via Watertown Square. I did that route a couple of times. The route kind of ends, dumping you abruptly in some random area of east Waltham (so bring a map the first time you try it), but it's definitely preferable to trying to bike from Watertown along 20.
