Default Gold's Gym Bikes at Walmart

Has anyone tried out or know anyone who's tried out these bikes? My mother is looking into getting a bike. I have been trying to get her into fitness for some time now, and it looks like this could be the way to do it.

I don't want her buying a piece of junk though. She is looking at the 210U model.

Anyone have experience?

By virtue of where you are buying it, plan on it being a piece of crap.

Get her a pair of jumpstretch bands and teach her a 10 minute full body routine working her body against light resistance in every plane. THAT will get her started on the right path, it's better for her joints, will help her develop somej functional and reactive muscle, and it's a LOT cheaper.
