There are several types to choose from at Argos. I've got one without the handlebar but this would be better for someone who is not too fit. This one looks good value.

MIL, 80 years, has one and has increased her strength over the past year. They can be set at different resistance levels and you can choose your pace to exercise gently or more energetically.

That's the sort of thing I was talking about - the gym ones are more industrial looking but I think this is a def possibility.
