The reason you are getting that error is because you are embedding one set of double quotes within another.

The first parameter of the (link:) macro meant to be a String value, and in TwineScript (and Javascript) a Sting value is delimited with either double or single quotes:

(set: $varA to "this is a String value delimited using double quotes")
(set: $varB to 'this is a String value delimited using single quotes')

Knowing this if you look at the first line of your example the parameter you are giving the (link:) macro is made up of two strings with the word Gaim between them:

string 1: "Switch your (if: $RiderChoise is "
string 2: ")[lockseed](else:)[form]."

There are two basic ways to fix your problem:

1. Escape the two internal double quotes using a backslash:

(link: "Switch your (if: $RiderChoise is \"Gaim\")[lockseed](else:)[form].")[
....
]

2. Replace the two internal double quotes with single quotes:

(link: "Switch your (if: $RiderChoise is 'Gaim')[lockseed](else:)[form].")[
....
]
