That's not what it says.
What it does say is that the Crown was not convinced that it could secure a conviction for careless driving when the driver would have had difficulty seeing the cyclist.
Dark clothes are certainly not a crime, but cycling in the dark in dark clothes, and without lights or reflectors, does substantially increase the risk of being hit. I only walk in the dark, but I still make sure I have visible clothing, either with visible colours or with reflectors.
