Bicycling	No Skill Requirement	Agility 8+
This grants the ability to use a bicycle as a vehicle.
Unskilled: Not possible
Non-Karma Training:  7 Days with Trainer [9 ] / 14 Days Self-Trained (TM:4)
Karma Attainment: Long Rest

Brachiation	Climbing	Body 12+
This skill enhances one's climbing ability to effectively move through trees and branches. This could be, but not necessarily, swinging from branches leaping with one's arms. Alternately, this could be leaping and running from branch to branch on foot -- or a combination of any of those methods of locomotion. The base movement tier is  Brown Cow, which is not subject to dash nor skills like strider, but it could be increased magically. For a full appreciation of this skill, watch the movie House of Flying Daggers.
Unskilled: Not possible
Non-Karma Training:  48 Days with Trainer [10 ] / 32 Days Self-Trained (TM:6)
Karma Attainment: Long Rest

Climbing	No Skill Requirement	Body 10+
See the description in the Adventuring Skills section.

Climbing II	Climbing	Body 13+
Grants a +5 bonus to rolls for climbing conditions, which can be viewed in the Adventuring Skills section.
Non-Karma Training:  45 Days with Trainer [12 ] / 60 Days Self-Trained (TM:8)
Karma Attainment: Long Rest

Marathon	No Skill Requirement	Resilience 9+
While this skill will not alter the base movement tier for combat, it will change the calculation for total miles traveled in a day. A slow pace remains the same; however, when traveling at a normal pace, the actual miles covered will be as if using a fast rate. All Awareness, foraging, survival, hunting and navigation determinations remain at those for a normal pace. This effectively removes the faster pace option. See Traveling.

Karma Attainment:Long Rest after a day of eating nothing but kale
