Question:
Im looking for a recommendation for a bike rack for my 2016 Honda Odyssey. I dont have a hitch but could use a recommendation on an easy to install hitch with no drilling. Id like for the bike rack to allow for access to the tailgate/trunk while bikes are loaded. And right now I have a womens step-through bike Raleigh Revolution and a girls 24inch mountain bike diamondback. We may have a third childs bike with training wheels. Thanks for your help!

For your 2016 Honda Odyssey, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270. This is a nice round tube design that is an easy bolt on installation. I've attached a video of this installation to assist.
For your bike rack, I recommend the Thule Helium Pro 3-Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting - Aluminum # TH9043PRO. This carrier has dual arching arms to give a little more space between the bikes. It has Hold Fast anti-sway cradles with road dampening built in. It has quick-release levers for tilt and folding to allow cargo access or storage when not in use. The arms are 13-1/2 inches apart to help with smaller bikes. There are integrated locks at the hitch and a cable lock to secure your bikes.
I recommend using the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005. This will create that top frame rail by connecting the seat post to the handlebars. It will allow you to carry the various bikes level and increase your ground clearance.
