Common sense tells us that we should make ourselves as safe and as visible as possible, and in all conditions.
Yes, of course cyclists should be on the look out for pedestrians/joggers, but they are also responsible for their own safety.
Since I first came to Norway (and most certainly long before) pedestrians have always worn plastic reflectors hanging from their jackets or bags etc. to aid visibility.
I drove (car) back once at night in heavy snow. I don'y think pedestriansdcould easily tell what was road and what was pavement. Peds didn't have lights. I drove back at 5 mph as I matched my speed to the conditions irrespective of whether people should have been better dressed etc.
