Thicker line in ParametricPlot3D?

Is there a "normal" way to adjust the line thickness in
ParametricPlot3D?

In mere ParametricPlot, I can give the line thickness in options:

   ParametricPlot[{t, t^2}, {t, 0, 1}, PlotStyle -> Thickness[0.02]]

In 3D, this is almost the same:

   ParametricPlot3D[{t, t^2, t^3}, {t, 0, 1}]

except that ParametricPlot3D does not allow the option PlotStyle
(gives an error for unknown option).

I can adjust the line thickness by doing it like this:

   fig = ParametricPlot3D[{t, t^2, t^3}, {t, 0, 1}];
   fig[[1]] = Prepend[fig[[1]], Thickness[0.02]];
   Show[fig]

I'm just being curious, is there any easier way?
