Nile Perch Take A Boda Ride



Yep, those are some BIG fish on the back of the bike. Yes, the bike also holds 2 men in this photo, plus some bags of something else, too. I am telling you, nearly ANYTHING can go on the back of a "boda boda". The original term is derived from the pronunciation of "border to border" and it is now down to either "boda boda" or just "boda". I have seen 30 or so dead chickens, feathers flapping in the wind, tied to them. I've seen families of 5 on them, plus the driver! I've seen beds, windshields, beds, sofas, goats, dead pigs (big ones!), and even other bodas on the backs of bodas. It is sort of a game for us to find a really unique thing on them. I think this was the first time I saw fish of this size on one.
