Yes, all around Uganda you can find refrigerators, wind shields, goats, pigs, chickens, and very large Nile perch fish, other bodas, sofas, etc. all being carried on these small motorcycles. A boda is actually called a "boda boda" and the word originally came from "border to border" (for where they'd take you) but with the English accent kind of on a curve here, it became boda boda, and shortened to boda.
All of that to say that many people take them to work, home, shopping, or just around. I'm trying to make a collection of interesting things I've seen riding on them. In this photo it is pretty tame- Pastor Wilson and some of the kids from his church in Katale.
