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

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

Does anyone have anything they'd like to add, any advice, or any reasons I 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
