f-string should be message = f"{name} (first bike was a {bicycles[3]})"

[Kurta]

f-string should be message = f"{name} (first bike was a {bicycles[3]})"

That did fixed it


I removed the round brackets i thought i needed them.

I've programmed in Labview for about 15 years.
Thought it would be good to learn python.

i need to get the basic syntax down..

Thanks for the help.
