What was the first hybrid?

I believe chain driven tricycles predate chain driven bicycles so all bicycles in general use today are hybrids combining elements of tricycles (chain drive) and elements of ordinary bicycles (two wheels). Is the ordinary a hybrid also, combining elements of the Draisine with technology from some other invention, or was the safety bike the first true hybrid bike? Was the Draisine itself a hybrid?
