Eliptical Nightmare

In an effort to do more cardio I've been spending A LOT of time on the various eliptical machines at my local gym. They're a great workout and if you push yourself they can give you great results.

One problem: I don't run like any one's Grandma. It's supposed to be a low impact machine and you spin around pumping your arms, but i never learned to run like that. As a result my right knee has been taking a pounding from this machine. It either bangs into it or is just plain old sore from the impact.

I've been trying to take it easy by using the bikes in the gym, but even that can aggravate the pains in my knee. I'm currently looking for a low impact cardio solution that will allow me to work hard and save my knee.
