Correct, they don't include Google Apps as part of the ROM.
They are distributed separately
Download, and flash in the same way as the ROM. No hassles at all.

Sure, the first time you go to it.
The second time, it should be in your Firefox Awesome Bar, and you won't need to type more than the domain.
The third time, you should consider bookmarking the site.

Where I live roads are exclusively paid for by car registration and fuel tax, so bike riders are indeed freeloading.
Got proof of that? I find it very hard to believe that in any country roads (which are damn expensive to build and maintain) are paid for by rego (which is not much at all), instead of general taxes paid by everyone.

Not sure what country you're from, but here in Australia roads are paid for by Federal and State taxes. Every tax payer pays for roads, not just car drivers.
Rego, here at least, pays for the cleanup of car accidents.
And I'm a cyclist who has insurance, provided for by the State Bicycling Club.

British and Dutch police coordinated their efforts which led to the arrest of the site administrator in the UK, and the seizure of OiNK's servers in Amsterdam."
