Is it? Is it really victim blaming or is it simply making a strong recommendation?

We make strong recommendations for other things, like telling people not to walk alone in the dark. That's not considered victim blaming.

Should this also apply to pedestrians, or only to cyclists? Because everybody is a pedestrian once they get out of their car.

I used to walk to work, and I always wore a hi viz vest on winter mornings when it was still dark. But none of my co-workers (who still had to cross streets to get from the parking lot to the office) did.

I like using the car park analogy. It is perfectly legal to park in a bad neighborhood. If your car is broken into then the thief should be sent to jail. You are still dumb for parking there. This isn't victim blaming.
