Expert Reply:
To carry two bikes on your 2001 Honda Accord 2-Door with a spoiler your best bet is to use a hitch like the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24791 and a hitch mounted bike rack like the Thule Helium 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH970XT. I am including links to the instructions on the hitch and the Thule bike rack.
The Yakima QuickBack 2 Bike Trunk Mount Rack, part # Y02621, will not fit the 2001 Honda Accord 2-Door. The bike rack is not recommended because the vehicle is unable to support the weight at the point where the carrier must be placed.
Thule does not recommend using the trunk mount racks on vehicles with spoilers. According to the manufacturer, the racks are not test fit on spoiler equipped vehicles, and a fit cannot be guaranteed.
