Yes, I second this!  Good luck!

Oh, that makes far more sense!

Sorry for jumping on you but it sounded exactly like "lets import known bad things and
fix it later" which is a common mistake that almost never goes well.

    I am sorry, I think there has been some confusion. When I said "at
    the end of the import", I meant "in the final stages of the
    importing process", before I upload the data, to check the integrity.

        Please do not import inaccurate data with the intent of fixing

        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.

                I'm relatively new at OSM Does anyone have anything

shouldn't go ahead with this?
            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
