1. A bicycle cargo rack, comprising: a first member having a top surface defining a first plane;a pivoting mechanism arranged on the first member;a second member having a top surface defining a second plane, the second member being arranged on the pivoting mechanism, wherein the second member is configured to rotate about the pivoting mechanism between a first position and a second position, wherein the first plane and second plane are co-planar in the second position; and,an elastic member coupled between the first member and the second member. 2. The cargo rack of claim 1, wherein the elastic member is configured to bias the second member to lock at the at least two positions. 3. The cargo rack of claim 1, wherein the pivoting mechanism further includes: a first cylindrical member arranged on the second member; anda second cylindrical member arranged on the first member, the second cylindrical member configured to receive and engage the first cylindrical member. 4. The cargo rack of claim 3, wherein the first cylindrical member includes at least one cam protrusion arranged thereon. 5. The cargo rack of claim 4, wherein the second cylindrical member includes a cam groove arranged therein, the cam groove configured to engage the at least one cam protrusion. 6. The cargo rack of claim 5, wherein the cam groove is a saw-tooth cam groove configured to convert rotation of the second member into linear motion along an axis orthogonal to the first member. 7. The cargo rack of claim 1, wherein the first member includes a first locking feature arranged thereon, the first locking feature configured to engage the second member in one of the at least two positions. 8. The cargo rack of claim 7, wherein the first member and the second member include a plurality of second locking features arranged thereon, the plurality of second locking features configured to engage each other in a second of the at least two positions. 9. The cargo rack of claim 7, wherein the first locking feature is a depression formed through the first member, wherein the second member is positioned in the depression when in the second position. 10. The cargo rack of claim 9, wherein the depression has a cross sectional shape complementary to a cross sectional shape of the second member. 11. The cargo rack of claim 1, wherein the first member and the second member are formed of bamboo. 12. The cargo rack of claim 1, wherein the first member and the second member are formed of plastic. 13. A bicycle cargo rack comprising: a base member having a first feature, the base member having a top surface defining a first plane;a pivoting mechanism arranged on the base member, the pivoting mechanism including an elastic member; andan expanding member arranged on the pivoting mechanism and movable between a first position and a second position, the second position being oriented 90 degrees from the first position, the expanding member having a top surface defining a second plane, the expanding member having a second feature, the expanding member being coupled to the base member by the elastic member, wherein the first plane and second plane are co-planar in the first position and second position;wherein the elastic member is arrange to bias the first feature to engage the second feature when in the first position. 14. The cargo rack of claim 13, wherein the pivoting mechanism further includes: a first cylindrical member arranged on the expanding member; anda second cylindrical member arranged on the base member, the second cylindrical member configured to receive and engage the first cylindrical member. 15. The cargo rack of claim 14, wherein the first cylindrical member includes at least one cam protrusion arranged thereon. 16. The cargo rack of claim 15, wherein the second cylindrical member includes a cam groove arranged therein, the cam groove configured to engage the at least one cam protrusion. 17. The cargo rack of claim 13, wherein the base member and the expanding member are formed a material selected from a group comprising: bamboo, plastic and metal. 18. A method of configuring a bicycle cargo rack comprising: providing a first member with a second member pivotally coupled thereto, the first member having a top surface defining a first plane and the second member having a second surface defining a second plane;providing an elastic member coupled between the first member and the second member;biasing the second member into contact with the first member in a first position with the elastic member, wherein the first plane and second plane are co-planar in the first position;rotating the second member substantially 90 degrees to a second position, wherein the first plane and second plane are co-planar in the second position; and,biasing the second member into contact with the first member in the second position with the elastic member. 19. The method of claim 18 further comprising providing a first feature and a second feature on the first member, the second feature being substantially perpendicular to the first feature;providing a third feature on the second member;engaging the first feature and the third feature when the second member is rotated to the first position; and,engaging the second feature and the third feature when the second member is rotated to the second position. 20. The method of claim 19 further comprising moving the second member apart from the first member prior to rotating the second member.
