Please do not import inaccurate data with the intent of fixing it later.  If you want to practice an import, correct your data first, then import it later.  Too often imported data sets with errors gets forgotten and then there is a bunch of poor data in the database.

I recommend surveying all the points and to correct all the external data, then importing, if you really want to practice importing.

Since there are only ~100 bike parkings in the dataset, all in our CBD, I plan to check them all in person at the end of the import. The main reason I'm doing this is to get more experience with imports and josm. I have already added a few bike parking spots manually outside the CBD. Does this still seem worrying to you?

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by highway=* with respect to bike parking.

    starting a import when you describe yourself as "relatively new"
    is maybe not a good idea.

    it would be better to do the first additions classically, find out how to 
deal with highway=* to divide, errors in existing data, poor location in 
opendata, ...

    if you still want to do an import, you have probably read that
    the guideline asks you to make a wiki page describing your project
