I also commute on it so it gets knocked around by careless people using the same bike rack. Their pedals hitting my spokes and the like. We have five bikes on the first floor of my small house. My LHT is stored against my GF's LHT. I have snagged her pedals on my spokes plenty of times. The truings were very minor.
I bent my RD hanger on my first LHT, which had he same wheel build. before it was stolen. It was during the winter so I wasn't riding much. Figured I wait until spring to get it fixed. Spring rolls around and I forget about the bent hanger. Take it out for a ride and decide to see what the lowest gear feels like going up a steep hill. RD cage goes right into the spokes and literally explodes into many pieces. Rear wheel is barely tweeked. I have complete confidence in my wheels.
