As has been mentioned, not only is a roof rack anything but invisible, but it creates an MPG hit of 5% or more.
My solution for transporting mountain bikes is a Class 1 Hidden Hitch and a 2 bike rack. The one I have is made by Yakima but I recommend Thule instead, as Yakima does not support Class 1 hitches and I had to cut off the end of their tongue to make it fit into the hitch.

I guess they discovered they were wrong about that and that Thule was kicking their butt in this segment.
