I may have an option for your but since the 1996 Honda CR-V was only available in Japan we do not offer a trailer hitch receiver confirmed to fit.

If you CR-V was manufactured in 1996 but is a 1997 model year made in North America I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13314 which is a 2" trailer hitch receiver which is my recommendation any time it is available due to there being more bike rack, and cargo carrier options than the 1-1/4" receivers.

If you do not already have a bike rack for your two bikes I recommend taking a look at the Swagman XC 2-Bike Rack # S64650 which will accommodate two bikes weighing up to 35lbs each with tires up to 3.5" wide. Using the Locking Anti-Rattle, Threaded Hitch Pin for Swagman Hitch Racks # S64029 will allow you to lock the rack to your vehicle for additional security.

I included a video for all of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
