Abstract: For a generic embedding of a smooth closed surface $M$ into $mathbb{R}^4$, the subset of $mathbb{R}^4$ which is the affine $lambda$-equidistant of $M$ appears as the discriminant set of a stable mapping $MimesMomathbb{R}^4$, hence their stable singularities are $A_k,,k=2,3,4,$ and $C_{2,2}^{pm}$. In this paper, we characterize these stable singularities of $lambda$-equidistants in terms of the bi-local extrinsic geometry of the surface, leading to a geometrical study of the set of weakly parallel points on $M$.
