Yesterday was my first real commute not using the MUP I usually travel - this was to a different location elsewhere in the city, for which the MUP wouldn't have helped. So this was really my first commute mixed up with morning-rush traffic on city streets.
I have no horror stories! We must have pretty considerate drivers.
This morning, leaving the house, I found my front tire wouldn't hold air - I swapped in my one spare tube. Didn't need tire levers; didn't find any evidence of a puncture in the tire. Glad it happened at home, where I have a floor pump, rather than on the road, where I only have a skimpy mini-pump.
