Just make one. Although it`s not there by default, it`s in your path by default, even if it`s not there.
Or it always used to be, using Hardy so things might have changed.

Rereading that, it doesn`t sound very clear unless you understand paths. If a directory is in your path then you can execute any binary in that directory typing the name of the program.
To see what I mean, try typing
One of the first programs you`ll see is the very commonly used apt-get. I`m guessing you type
Code:
sudo apt-get install blah blah blah
all the time.
If /usr/bin was not in your path you would have to type
Code:
sudo /usr/bin/apt-get install blah blah blah
because bash would not search /usr/bin to find it.
Other distros include ~/bin as a default directory, Ubuntu does not, but it does include ~/bin in your default path. So you can create ~/bin and bash will search it
To see which directories are in your path type
Edit 2 -
I`m not sure that made it clearer, anyway, research your path if your interested
