Your previous fast rides were almost certainly due to the improved aerodynamic position your road bike offered you, but I suspect that due to your neck injury, that position is no longer viable.

With that being the case, what you now seek, may not be possible.

You could always try fitting some aero bars to your hybrid's handlebars to see if that works out for you.
