Does that also mean that you're calling the blue one a MTB due to the fact that it has 26" wheels?
Hybrids tend to look a bit like mountain bikes with road bike style forks and road wheels. The blue bike has 26" wheels, which are common on mountain bikes, but not so common on hybrids (though not uncommon on cruisers), and it has a fork style that is common to mountain bikes. (Note: 700c road wheels and 29er MTB wheels are the same diameter.)
