And just like you mentioned people have tried this before to varying levels of success. Technically the study you mentioned isn't really what we're talking about though, not all travelers are youth (vast majority are over 25 I'd say based on personal experience). Back in 2011 a simple photo...
I'd say that after five years of riding with this survey in mind you'd be able to make an somewhat accurate estimate. Pay attention to who you see, take note of how many people are using Sally's and how often the faces change, count heads in jungles in peak season ect. Just running around...
And I know it sounds elitist, but really if you wanted to do this right, riding for about 5 years solid is about the only way I could actually see you getting an accurate number. By that point though, I suspect you'd realize why this is a fool's mission.
