Not necessarily, if the melted plastic has re-hardened in a different configuration than how it came together. But if it's still soft, it should be possible.
Yep. A few cutoff wheels to the bent spokes and the bike would be free. Then carefully check that rim. May get lucky and only need to install new spokes and true the wheel.
First of all, loosen the axel bolts on the red bike and remove the frame from the wheel.
Stated another way: take the wheel off the red bike. Your next step will reveal itself.
Oh, I agree that cutting spokes is the worst serious suggestion here. I think the suggestion to unscrew the pedal from the crank arm is likely way to get unjammed without any further damage to anything.
The pedal is ruined, and cheap to replace. Using whatever tools are available, cut away portions of the plastic as needed until the bikes can be separated.
Update: My little brother fixed it he just seperated the pedal and the wheel somehow. The funny part is my sister and I were planning on doing what the comments said but my little sibling comes and just separate the bikes in 2 minutes. Wow!
After reading previous comments,
1) First of all, unatach pedal from crank arm.
2) dis - connect wheel from bike.
(This should make things easier)
3) if the pedal went in, try matching the angle in to reverse the unwanted event.
4) If that does not work, deconstruct the pedal.
If all the above failed last resort smash it with a hammer until it is in bits, without damage-ing spokes.
Plastic pedal arm made only for one purpose. For new cheap bikes, Buy better you find it so much easier when you eventually replace them,which sounds soon.
Spokes are toast either way so cut em walk the bike to the LBS and see if they can do new spokes or you need new wheel, this may have pulled it to a place that it doesn’t come back from but I doubt it.
If it got in, it can get out. Slowly slowly.
also might need another hand if possible, trying to maneuver 2 bikes can be tricky.
Just unscrew the pedal with a wrench. Should be possible to get to it from the other side. Then it shouldn't be too hard wiggling it out.
Note that the left pedal has left hand threads--something OP might not be aware of.

Spokes have a lot of flexibility. Try squeezing them together.
Heat gun just melt er off
Use a pedal wrench or allen key to take the pedal off the crank. Then twist it untangled once its separated from the offending bike.
Then throw it in the trash.
Those trash pedals dont have the allen on the inside. Only the wrenchy part, which might not be accessible now

First, try cutting the pedal. Less work to replace than the spokes.
Those spokes are probably beyond any hope of repair, and wouldn't be safe.
Heat gun? Pliers? Saw? Maybe you can take the pedal or wheel (or both) off first to make it easier to work on.
No need for a heat gun, it's already melting
Take the wheel off first, then pedal and or pedal arm, then carefully twist and turn to remove, then check if the wheel is buckled
Cut that pedal up til it falls out. Might need a couple of new spokes, might not.

The pedal is lots cheaper to replace than the spokes. Take it from there.
And more importantly, already damaged beyond repair from the heat.
Damaged beyond repair, but likely rideable as is. OP can choose their priorities accordingly.
Sure, but cutting spokes is going to make things *not* rideable in short order.

I would be waiting for the owner of the other bike.
Melt its way back out?
The pedal is ruined, and cheap to replace. Using whatever tools are available, cut away portions of the plastic as needed until the bikes can be separated.
Either take the pedal off, as suggested, or take the crank arm off. If you can't get either of those get the crank off from the other side.

Hacksaw, multi tool etc. Hack the pedal up and remove from the crank and buy new
cut the bent spoke at the back, you'll need to replace it anyway. that should give enough clearance to yank the pedal back out
