Check http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/fg_vehicle.asp and
http://www.yakima.com/home.html. They both make good (and somewhat
pricey) rack systems that will fit your Accord.

do you have a link by chance?

Thule makes amazing roof racks. We had one on a friend's 89 Jetta, and
two summers in a row we went mountain biking every weekend. The most
extreme example we drove with three bikes on it for 500km at about
150km/h without any problems.

And the bikes were worth more than the car, so we REALLY cared is they
fell off.
