For your 2016 Honda Odyssey, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75270. This hitch will not require any additional parts to install. It will come with all the hardware, so you just need to supply the tools. I've attached an installation video to assist.

For a bike rack, you will have many options. If you let me know the number of bikes and style of rack you desire, I'd be happy to make some recommendations for you. You will want to consider locks and functions like tilt or swing so you can access your rear hatch, as well as if an adapter bar may be needed. I've linked the page to all of your options to get you started.
