bilby commented on the word safety zone
In road cycling, a notional distance before the end of the race where mechanical mishaps will not penalise a rider. It's usually 2 or 3 kilometres. For example, if a cyclist's chain breaks and he has to wait for a replacement, at the end of the stage he will be awarded the same finishing time as the group he was with when the mechanical occurred.
