As far as the bikes go, tell them that they can not keep blocking the path with their bikes and tell them where they CAN keep them. Have them sign something stating that they will not block the path and will only keep their bikes in the designated area. If they do not do that, then you have a right to tell them that you're protecting your property and if they cannot abide by the rules, then you'll be forced to evict them.
Internal wall damage? Take that out of their deposit. They damaged it, they pay for it. That's basically what a deposit is there for anyway.

Whatever you do has to fall under the conditions of the lease. You can certainly ask them to move maybe even cover some of the cost since it will cost you money to file an eviction. If they are violating any lease conditions then you should certainly file eviction papers. You could obviously raise their rent but if you do then it has to be across the board so you don't violate any fair housing statutes.
Did you check any of their references especially the former landlords? Not that everyone would have been truthful but you could have gotten at least some idea of their behaviour.
As far as the kids go, kids are kids. You need to if you don't already, include conditions in your leases for unruly children, proper maintenance and condition of the leased premises etc. That way if they would continue with the kinds of things you are describing then you would have a cause of action against them and their security deposit.

Charge them for the damage. Tell the parents that their kids must not leave bikes on the path/sidewalk. Be firm. You have the upperhand in this situation. If they continue to make conditions unsafe (having bikes in the way and leaving trash around), I would think you have the right to evict them. But check the out your city's tenant/landlord rights before you take any action.

Find out what it takes to evict them--then do it.
