Suri Cruise looked every bit the carefree teenage girl as she rode a bike through Central Park on a sunny summer Saturday.
The high school graduate, 18, wore a white crocheted tank top with funky red and white print pants as she steered the bicycle through the urban oasis.
The daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise wore her brown hair down her back and had a smile on her face.
A blue tote bag lay in the basket of the bike she rented from New York City‘s Citi bike program.
Suri has the summer off before heading to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the fall to study at Carnegie Mellon University.

A few days earlier, Suri was spotted going for a run through the park.
Despite hailing from two of the biggest stars on the globe, Suri does not seem to want to go down the path that so many Hollywood nepo babies have trod by forging her own career on the big or small screen.
Instead, she is determined to remain ‘private,’ an insider dished to DailyMail.com exclusively back in April.
Suri will be graduating from high school this month and then preparing for college at in the fall where she’s reportedly leaning towards studying fashion.
Carnegie Mellon’s School of Design is one of the oldest and most highly ranked programs in the country.
One insider told DailyMail.com: ‘She is a smart girl, and she is turning into a very intelligent mature young woman. She has a very close group of loyal friends, and she knows exactly where she comes from.’
But though Holmes is proud of her daughter’s stellar achievement, sources say she is ‘overwhelmed’ at the thought of sending her little girl off to college.
Speaking recently, one told DailyMail.com: ‘Katie takes great pride in her but is also extremely overprotective.’
While Suri may not have crystalized all of her plans for the future just yet, one thing about her future is clear: her dad scientologist Tom, 61, will have no part in it.
‘Suri will not have any contact with her father, despite being 18, and even if he called, she would not answer,’ a source previously told DailyMail.com.
‘He does not exist to Katie or Suri, and his daughter does not want to rely on him for anything. She feels that she has one parent and that is her mother.’
Suri celebrated her 18th birthday in April, which means the Top Gun star will no longer be required to pay child support to Katie, a sum that reportedly amounted to a hefty $400,000 a year.
