We have everything you will need to transport your bikes with your 2007 Honda Odyssey.
First, for a trailer hitch, I recommend the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75270. This is custom fit for your vehicle, which means there will be no drilling required during installation. This hitch represents the most cost-efficient model for your vehicle and has a tongue weight capacity of 675 pounds. The 2 inch hitch opening will give you a wide array of hitch-mounted bike racks to choose from. I have attached an installation video on your vehicle for you to look at. The complete hardware kit and installation instructions will be included with the hitch and do not need to be purchased separately.
Then for a quality but nicely priced bike rack that can hold your 4 bikes, I recommend looking at the Swagman Trailhead 4-Bike Rack # S63380. This will be compatible with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch and can hold up to 4 bikes at 35 pounds each. A great feature on this rack is its ability to be tilted away from the vehicle after the bikes are unloaded for easy rear cargo access. I recommend adding the Swagman Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock and Cable # S64031 to secure both the bikes to the rack and the rack to your Odyssey. I have included a video review of this rack for you to check out.
Since you will be carrying a woman's bike, an adapter bar like the Swagman # 64005 may be needed. This will provide a horizontal mounting point to keep the bike level on the rack.
