According to our friends at Yakima, the SpareTime # Y02599 will indeed fit your 2001 CR-V.

The SpareTime includes a cable lock, and is designed so that the head that the bikes attach to can be offset to the rear of the vehicle, which will center the bikes on the back of the CR-V.

For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.
