Your 2010 Honda Accord will use a Class I hitch, therefore you will be limited to carrying no more than two bikes on a hitch mounted bike rack. More than 2 bikes would create excessive leverage that can damage the hitch or cause the hitch attachment points on the vehicle frame to fail.

If you decide to go with a two-bike rack I think you will like the Let's Go Aero NEO2 # B01748. This rack fits both 1-1/4-inch and 2-inch hitches, supports your 2 bikes at their wheels - no frame contact at all - and has a substantial 40-lbs-per-bike weight capacity. The carrier is light too, only 15-lbs which means it will be easy to install and remove as needed. This rack is very cost-effective. Please see the linked video.

You can add the hitch lock # e98879 to lock the carrier to your hitch and cable lock # e98891 to lock your bikes to the carrier.
